Our deep hope at Hastings Christian School is for our students to develop into mature adults who faithfully live in submission to God. We aim to graduate lifelong learners who constantly seek truth, goodness, and beauty. We desire that they love their neighbors well, live lives of integrity, and work hard in all that the Lord gives them to do. We hope that graduates of HCS will disciple others and spread the gospel message until Jesus’ imminent return.
We concentrate core academic work into three days, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This affords valuable family time and gives space for contemplative leisure on what has been learned. Families may choose either Monday or Friday for their practice or prepare time. This is not a hybrid model where parents are teaching core material but is instead a partnership where the teachers instruct and the parents have time to practice with their children.
We want children honing the skills of discernment. The Christian Liberal Arts Tradition provides an incredible foundation to developing this skill. Within the Trivium students move from the concrete to the philosophical through guided discussions that aim at truth. In the Quadrivium students apply mathematical knowledge to the world around us, revealing God''s Creation and helping students see God's creation as it truly is.
"But living a just and holy life requires one to be capable of an objective and impartial evaluation of things: to love things, that is to say, in the right order, so that you do not love what is not to be loved, or fail to love what is to be loved, or have a greater love for what should be loved less, or an equal love for things that should be loved less or more, or a lesser or greater love for things that should be loved equally. (Augustine - On Christian Doctrine, I.27-28)
