MORAL VALUES IMPORTANT
Education is never neutral, but always reflects a particular view of life. Children are influenced by this view – whether it be new age, secular humanist, post modernist or Christian. By age 12, most children will have spent 8,000 hours in school.
The educational perspective presented during these hours will have a major effect on their lives. Liberton Christian School seeks to reinforce the moral, social and spiritual values taught in the Christian home in a manner that is not possible in the state school system.
The personal disciplines and relationships that the school seeks to encourage and develop within a child are biblical in their origins and are aimed at providing the child with a secure foundation for future life.
The Christian school is not an insular community, but rather it seeks to help children to learn to live successfully within a world that often lacks a moral and spiritual foundation. It seeks to develop within children positive attitudes and good lifelong habits.
Liberton Christian School is an integrated primary school located in Pine Hill, catering for children from new entrants to form two.
Since its establishment in 1982, the school has been providing a comprehensive education to children from all walks of life.
The school is non-denominational, and is owned by an association of parents and interested Christians who are fully involved in its operation.
The school presently has three sunny, spacious classrooms (with plans to complete a fourth), a hall with kitchen facilities, a library and an attractive adventure playground.
The school proprietors (the Dunedin Christian Schools Association Inc) takes seriously its responsibility to help those who lack financial resources.
Fees, which are modest, are therefore related to family income. It aims to ensure that all children can attend irrespective of financial circumstance.
The curriculum is developed from a Christian foundation. It encompasses all areas of the Ministry of Education’s national curriculum framework.
The school roll is almost full for 2004, so contact the school to enquire about enrolment
