Educational Philosophy

Christian education is based on the belief that each student is unique and of infinite worth and places importance on the development of the whole person. Students are educated to accept service as a way of life, to be sensitive to the needs of people in the home and society, and encouraged to participate in the spirit and teachings of Christ. The faculty members are committed to keeping Jesus first in their lives and modeling the Christian lifestyle.

Orcas Christian School provides a safe and enriched environment in which students can thrive and discover the joy of being life-long learners, become active thinkers, develop positive attitudes, and learn to work together as a community. Students are given the opportunity for exploration, discovery and application of concepts in the real world. We embrace the philosophy that all students can learn, and given the proper environment and academic program, teachers and students can strive for academic excellence.
