Dear Parent:

Ohio Valley Christian School welcomes your interest in seeking a proper education for your children. Our school is in a unique position to offer your children a balanced Christian education.

While we push ahead into the technological education of the future, we maintain our commitment to the spiritual and moral values taught by the Master Teacher, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Education gives man facts. Christian education gives man the truth! Bare facts fall short of the truth until they are seen in relationship to the supreme fact of God as the Creator. Facts bring the truth when properly integrated with the knowledge of God. Facts tell us man thinks, has five senses and about twenty-six billion cells. Truth tells us man is also a spiritual creation who is not complete without the knowledge of God.

All education is committed to developing ability. Christian education is also committed to developing discernment. The marvelous inventive genius of man has the ability to speak with eloquence, write with style, and formulate with complexity, but not the ability to insure their constructive use. Spiritual and moral insights determine the use of abilities and instruments. This discernment between good and evil is a product only of the mind of Christ through the Scriptures.

Education involves man in programs for improvement. Christian education seeks to impart to man the power to improve. Man's programs for abolishing crime, distributing wealth, bringing world peace, and maintaining the goodness of the soul fail for the lack of power to change man's nature. Christian education teaches man that he needs the power of a changed nature and a renewed mind rather than a changed environment and a reformed society.

The benefits of Christian education are eternal, but they are also very practical for today's world. Your child will learn in a disciplined, structured, traditional classroom with a Christian teacher as a role model. Our tradition of high quality academics, competitive sports and fine arts programs will prepare your child to make a positive contribution to the society in which they will be living.
