It becomes essential, therefore, to establish the direction for education from this Christian perspective and the following statement has been drawn up in an attempt to make this clear as related to Scottsdale Christian Academy. In no sense should it be considered as the last word, but it purports to be the foundational concept upon which scholarship under God may thrive and expand. Starting with the belief that God is the source of all truth, education becomes the exciting adventure of seeking to appropriate knowledge in all its various facets under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Education which is Christian takes for its perspective the Biblical view of God, man, and the universe in their mutual relations. This view of education rests upon the historic Christian faith contained in the Scriptures, symbolized by the open Bible on the seal of the Academy. Holding to the summary of this faith as contained in our Doctrinal Statement, Scottsdale Christian Academy is endeavoring to offer an education which articulates the implications of the sovereignty of Jesus Christ over all of His creation. 9827 N. 32nd Street Phoenix, Az. 85028 996-5657 SCA.f1
