The Purpose of Del Rosa Christian School 

The purpose of Del Rosa Christian School is to glorify God.

​

-We do this by teaching children about the greatness, supremacy, and love of Jesus Christ. God is glorified when children discover and treasure His Son, and put their faith in Him.

​

-We intentionally strive for a superior educational environment that glorifies God through teaching children the very best in academics. We are a school that believes that children were designed by God to learn and thrive academically. 

​

We aim to be the best school in San Bernardino by glorifying God through teaching students about Jesus Christ and through providing a robust, thorough, exemplary elementary education that instills a love for learning.

 Philosophy of Education 

Jesus Christ:

The Glory of a Christian School

The Lord Jesus Christ is the purpose, the motive, the means, the fruit, and the glory of a Christian education (Colossians 1:15-20 & 3:17). For there is no one greater for us to know, and there is no greater reason for us to live, than to live for Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:7-8). He created us, saved us, and sustains us. The importance of everything else falls under the greatness of our Lord (Colossians 3:1-4).

A Christian education starts with salvation (Mark 8:34-38), continues with sanctification (Hebrews 12:1-3),  and produces a Christ-like heart that loves people, learning, wisdom, knowledge and the discipline to achieve these virtues, because these are the fruits of a regenerated heart (Galations 5:22-24, Philippians 4:8).

A Christian educator is first concerned about the spiritual heart of a student (Mark 8:34-38). For out of a student's heart will come either rebellion or love. A heart that rebels against a teacher is also a heart that is rebelling against God. Thus, Christian education starts with conversion.

​

After conversion, a child's heart will need spiritual feeding and nurturing (Ephesians 4:11-13, 2 Peter 3:18). For his heart will still act out the rebellion in his flesh. Thus, Christian education emphasizes sanctification- a heart in love with and set apart for Jesus. 

​

The fruit of conversion and sanctification is a heart that loves good things, and in a Christian school those things would be Christ-likeness, people, learning, wisdom, knowledge, and the discipline to attain these virtues (Colossians 3:1-4).
