Luke 2:52 Holistic Education
Luke 2:52 Model
The Bible teaches that Jesus increased in wisdom, stature, and in favor with both God and man (Luke 2:52). Our Lord has provided us with His salvation to accept and His example to follow; therefore, BBA seeks to develop the total person in the following areas:
Spiritual
To lead the student to accept God’s gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ alone as Savior
To develop attitudes and values consistent with the teaching of the Scriptures
To instill a personal responsibility to God for individual behavior (Romans 12:1-2; Colossians 3:1)
Academic
To teach all subjects in light of the Scripture, since God’s Word is the source of absolute truth (John 17:17)
To promote an instructional program to meet individual needs more adequately
To provide academic excellence (2 Timothy 2:15)
Physical and Social
To stress the development and care of the body, since God created man a tri-partite being (body, soul, and spirit) whose body (for the Christian) is the residence of God the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19)
To encourage wholesome forms of recreation and exercise (1 Timothy 4:8)
To emphasize personal cleanliness and good grooming
To expect dress consistent with biblical standards (Romans 12:1, 2)
To stress appropriate friendships and relationships among boys and girls and between genders (2 Timothy 2:22)
To teach patriotism (Romans 13:1-4)
