Philosophy of Clear Lake Christian School:
The educational philosophy of Clear Lake Christian School is that God lovingly planned all of creation with an eternal purpose. God is the center of life. He has revealed Himself through His written Word, His Living Word and His creation. He is the author of all things and desires to be intimately involved with His creation. God created man in His image, unique and valuable. However, because of one man’s sin, all of mankind is separated from fellowship with God. Only through the sacrificial death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ, is the restoration of intimacy with God made available. The Holy Spirit works to convict man of his sin and reveals to man his need to receive salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit then guides, teaches and comforts the redeemed man through His indwelling. The lifelong process of education is the progressive realization of each person’s unique God-given physical, social, spiritual and mental potential. Through godly teachers, led by the Holy Spirit, Biblical truths become the framework for all knowledge. By learning to filter all knowledge and experience through the Word of God, the student becomes able to determine God’s truth and develop wisdom. The student is led to discover God’s presence in all aspects of life and to realize a personal role in God’s plan. The student then is equipped to be used by the Holy Spirit to effect positive change in the world. God has commanded parents to teach their children to love God and honor Him in all they do. The Christian school becomes a partner with the parents in accomplishing this goal. Clear Lake Christian School History:
Clear Lake Christian School is an independent private Christian school on a 20-acre site located in an established residential neighborhood called Pineloch on the edge of Clear Lake City, Texas. It is easily accessible from all directions. The school consists of one large building facility, with 106,000 useable square feet surrounded by out-side athletic facilities. The school owns 80% of the property and shares a 20% ownership with New Beginnings Church. In 2004, Grace Community Church moved to its new location on the Gulf Freeway. Clear Lake Christian School purchased the property from Grace Church and operates now independently. Grace Church Pastor Steve Riggle established the school and continues to be the leader of the Executive Board of Education. The church continues to support the school in a variety of ways. The school is under the direction of School Superintendent and Head Master Reverend Bruce M. Guillot. This department effectively schedules and controls the uses of the building by the several different entities utilizing the facility. Although the school has gone through name and organizational changes, the original plan for the school has not changed. From its inception, the educational philosophy of Clear Lake Christian School is that God has lovingly planned all of creation with an eternal purpose. God is the center of life and has revealed Himself through His written word, His loving Word and His creation. This lifelong process of education is the progressive realization of each person's unique God-given physical, social, spiritual and mental potential. Through Godly administration and Godly teachers led by the Holy Spirit, Clear Lake Christian School has provided an accelerated, college prep program for all grades that leads to academic excellence. Most importantly, the philosophy and the objectives of the original committee under the leadership of Pastor Steve Riggle remains the center focal point of the school. That focal point ordained and confirmed by God is to develop Christian individuals who are responsible, productive members of our society. Clear Lake Christian School is providing quality academic, social, spiritual, athletic and physical fitness opportunities by teaching, guiding, training and inspiring today's youth into the active pursuit of Biblical wisdom. 2005 brought many changes to CLCS that added to the scope of the school. New and improved athletic facilities were added and improved. Harvest Christian Academy closed and joined CLCS. In addition to adding students to the school, an International Program of Foreign Students was also added expanding the scope and reach of the influence of Clear Lake Christian School. The addition of Harvest Christian Academy has increasee the opportunities for everyone involved. In 2006 South Shaver Baptist Christian school also closed and joined with CLCS. CLCS continues to grow and prosper with God's watchful eye guiding the steps all the way. |
