When we worship an eternal, omnipotent, and sovereign God, our response should be nothing less than visionary.
There is no way to faithfully live the Christian life and avoid hard, stressful things. Loving and serving others will necessarily come with anxiety, stress, and challenges we must meet with faithful rigour and not retreat.
So the goal is not wonder but wisdom. But Proverbs tells us that “Folly is bound up in the heart of a child and the rod of discipline drives it from him.” Which means there will always be a certain amount of conflict (i.e. discipline) involved in teaching a child.
There are some who might view such questions as irrelevant, or an exercise in overthinking. Others may deem their children resilient enough to withstand whatever consequences may come about by not thinking about them. The problem here is that when we don’t make decisions based on convictions, we will likely make them based on convenience (the distance, cost, or size of a school). But what if the answers to such questions carried massive implications for your child’s future? What if an educational institution’s “soil” was the most critical factor to the detriment, or flourishing, of their students?
On behalf of the Board, it is my pleasure to announce the hiring of Rylan Auger as our first principal. This position of leadership is foundational for the healthy functioning and flourishing of the school. As such, we would like to share some of the convictions that guided the Board’s decision, and why we consider Rylan to be an excellent fit for this role.
