Kingdom Education

Kingdom Education, the philosophy at Russell Christian Academy, focuses on bringing the home, church, and school into a partnership for the purpose of training the next generation. Kingdom Education is defined as the life-long, Bible-based, Christ-centered process of leading a child into a new identity with Christ, developing a child according to his/her specific abilities given to him by Christ, so that a child would be empowered to live a life characterized by love, trust, and obedience to Christ.


1.  The education of children and youth is the primary responsibility of parents. Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 11:18-21; Psalm 78:1-7, 7:3; Proverbs 22:6; Malchai 2:13-16; Ephesians 6:4
2.  The education of children and youth is a 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week process that continues from birth till maturity. Deuteronomy 6:7, 11:19; Proverbs 22:6 
3.  The education of children and youth must have as its primary goals the salvation of and discipleship of the next generation. Psalm 78:6-7; Matthew 28:19-20 
4.  The education of children and youth must be based on God's Word as absolute truth. Matthew 24:35; Psalm 119 
5.  The education of children and youth must hold Christ as preeminent in all of life. Colossians 2:3, 6-10 
6. The education of children and youth must not hinder the spiritual and moral development of the next generation. Matthew 18:6, 19:13-24; Mark 10:13-16; Luke 18:15-17
7.  The education of children and youth, if and when delegated to others by parents, must be done by teachers chosen with utmost care to ensure that they all follow these principles. Exodus 18:21; 1 Samuel 1:27-28, 3:1-10
8.  The education of children and youth results in the formation of a belief system or worldview that will be patterned after the belief systems or worldviews of the person's teachers. Luke 6:40
