INDEX for FP Day School

The Day School presents Christian education as its philosophy and the reason for its existence. This view of education holds that God is central in life and everything else has existence only in relation to Him. If we learn anything correctly, we must acknowledge that God, through Jesus Christ, must have His rightful place. The Bible informs us that "the fear of the Lord" is the beginning of both knowledge and wisdom (Proverbs 1:7, 9:10). Therefore, any integrated meaningful education that is truly valid must have this "reverence of God" as its starting point, and doing the will of God as its goal.

The First Presbyterian Church Day School is designed as an extension of the Christian home and this church. The school seeks to partner the teaching of values, goals, and discipline with parents. Both the Christian parent and the Christian teacher are essential cooperatives in our philosophy of education.

Determining where your son or daughter will spend his or her formative elementary school years is a decision that carries a lifelong impact. The early knowledge your child receives today is the foundation upon which tomorrow’s academic success depends, and upon which future decisions will be based. In the following overview, we provide many reasons why we believe our school is the ideal environment in which to begin a lifetime of learning.
