"Education is not so much about filling a bucket as it is about lighting a fire. If students want to learn, they will succeed. Pass the matches, please. And by the way, we will try to fill the bucket with some good stuff too."

"I want my students to see the whole truth, that is, to see how everything they experience fits into God's purposes for human history. I believe a Christian school allows that to be done: that is why being a part of a christian school is so exciting."

"The purpose of education is to help develop a student to think for himself and to make wise spiritual, home and community decisions. A thoughtful person with spiritual eyes begins to see the possibilities around him or her"
