Heaven's View offers educational choice to families
who want a Biblical alternative to secular educational programs. At Heaven's
View, as at many Christian boarding schools for troubled teens, that Biblical
alternative is the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum. The Accelerated
Christian Education individualized curriculum provides mastery-based learning,
character building, diagnostic testing, academic excellence, computer enhanced
curriculum, and numerous courses of study.
As a preeminent Christian boarding school for teen
girls in crisis, Heaven's View recognizes that God has made each of us with
individual talents and abilities. The truly successful individual utilizes those
talents and abilities not only for individual benefit but also for the benefit
of mankind. The Accelerated Christian Education enables and encourages each
student to excel both individually and as a member within a group.
The Accelerated Christian Education curriculum used
at Heaven's View is based on the Five Laws of Learning:
- The pupil must be placed on a LEVEL of curriculum where she
can best perform. LEVEL acknowledges that all students are different (Romans
12:5-6).
- The pupil must set reasonable and appropriate GOALS that
she can be expected to achieve in a reasonable and prescribed period of time
(Luke 14:18).
- The pupil must receive MOTIVATION through encouragement and
support and achieve CONTROL through guidance and discipline in order to
assimilate, use and experience the educational material. MOTIVATION is that
inner desire prompted by the concerned supervisor/teacher (Colossians 3:23).
CONTROL acknowledges the necessity for discipline, guidance and responsible
leadership (Proverbs 22:6).
- The pupil's learning must have appropriate MEASUREMENT
applied to the results. MEASUREMENT of results relates to accountability (Luke
12:48).
- The pupil's learning must receive recognition and REWARD
for its value, effort and significance. REWARD is the proper recognition for
the student's effort (Philippians 3:13-14).
