Spiritual Principles- Core Values
The spiritual principles are based upon excerptsfrom the themes within The Philosophy of Christian School Education by Association of Christian Schools International, edited by Dr. Paul A. Kienel.
Parkway Christian Academy’s mission is for the “equipping of kids for college, career, and Christ.” The following spiritual principles support each of the three areas for preparing our students for life after graduation. Whether the student must select a college or choose a career, all students will be fully trained to serve and uphold the name of Christ in any area of life.
Parkway Christian Academy desires to instill within the hearts of the students that every choice should reflect Christ in the picture of eternity.

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
