Where do you go for answers to the hardest questions? Do you turn to philosophy, a trusted mentor, a friend, the Bible? The answer to that question is determined by your worldview. 

One of the primary responsibilities of a Christian private school is to help students develop a Biblical worldview. 

Here is how Haywood Christian Academy provides the education students need to see the world through a biblical lens.

How Haywood Christian Academy Helps Teach a Christian Worldview

“A worldview is a collection of attitudes, values, stories, and expectations about the world around us, which inform our every thought and action. Worldview is expressed in ethics, religion, philosophy, scientific beliefs, and so on (Sire, 2004).”

In other words, it is the lens through which a person sees the world. 

What Is a Christian Worldview? 

Per Focus on the Family:

“A biblical worldview is based on the infallible Word of God. When you believe the Bible is entirely true, then you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do.”

People who adhere to a Christian worldview go to the central truth of Scripture for answers to the most difficult questions in life. Biblical themes that explain the world around us include:

• There is one God who manifests himself in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). 
• God created the universe, the earth, and everything.
• All people are created in God’s image. 
• All people have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
• The gospel is the good news about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, and that we’re saved through belief in Him.
• God is sovereign over all creation and history. 
• Jesus will return to usher in his Kingdom. 

How Does HCA Help Students Have a Christian Worldview?

Here is how HCA helps students develop a Christian worldview:

• Our Mission: The mission of Haywood Christian Academy is to develop students into Christian leaders by providing an excellent educational experience on a foundation of Biblical truth.
• Our Teachers: Our faculty is wholly committed to the spiritual development of each student. 
• Our Curriculum: Each subject is taught thoroughly and through the lens of a Christian worldview. 
• Our Class Sizes: Our class sizes are smaller than traditional public schools, allowing more time and space for individual conversations and answering challenging questions. 
• Our Community: Each student receives the support of an extensive community of people who see the world through a Christian, Biblical lens. 

Many parents are searching for alternatives to traditional public education. They want their children to have the opportunity to develop a view of the world rooted in the truths of Scripture. 

For families in the Waynesville area, Haywood Christian Academy is here for you. We would love to talk to you more about how we can help your student have a thorough, gospel-centered education.
