SPIRITUAL LIFE
Spiritual Life
Our goal at Pathlight Preparatory is to nurture spiritual growth within each student. To that end, we have regularly scheduled times of sharing in God's Word as well as times throughout the day when spiritual principles are integrated within lessons and other activities. Pathlight Preparatory faith-based activities bring students together for special times of worship, teaching, and singing.
One of the unique purposes of Pathlight Preparatory's faith-based activities are to prepare students to constructively service and honor Christ in whatever career they choose. Since effective Christian service can be performed only by those who have dedicated their lives to Christ, Pathlight Preparatory desires that each student develops a vital, personal relationship with God through faith, and ask all students to measure their lives by scriptural standards of conduct.
Each student should understand that attending Pathlight Preparatory is a privilege granted to those who are willing to demonstrate a spirit of Humility, Love, and Wisdom with the goals and philosophy of the school. By applying for admission to Pathlight Preparatory, the student indicates a desire to become a sincere, cooperative family member of the student body.
We believe that self-discipline and spiritual growth are never a result of superimposed rules; these goals can be attained only when students and their parents make the achievement of these attributes a priority. Therefore, Pathlight Preparatory standards of conduct are designed to serve only as an external guideline for student behavior; our ultimate hope is for students to grow into a fuller level of Christian maturity.
To produce a school culture and environment which will encourage these goals, Pathlight Preparatory expects every student to be open and willing to be instructed by the school staff, and to demonstrate by attitude and behavior a life committed to following Christian ethics and morality. Certainly, character education is a priority at Pathlight Preparatory and involves the entire school community – school leaders, parents, teachers, staff, and students. Our collective effort is to focus on shaping the hearts of our students as we endeavor to instill biblically-based, positive ethical values, such as caring, good manners, respect, responsibility, fairness, and honesty.
