Geneva Academy Mission and Vision

Our Mission

We assist Christian families to train up well-educated, godly children.

Everything at Geneva serves that one end. We are a partner to the Christian home, not a replacement for it, and every subject is taught under the authority of Scripture so that knowledge is never separated from wisdom or character.

Our Vision

We instruct students through the Classical Christian Education method, nurturing the development of godly character in an orderly, engaging and loving atmosphere.

“Mankind should love the all things which are dear to Almighty God.”

St. Cyprian
We Are

Three commitments that order everything.

01

Christ-centered

Geneva Academy acknowledges Jesus Christ as Lord over all life, and the Bible as the final authority over matters of life and thought (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Founded upon orthodox Christian beliefs, Geneva will continue to execute its mission by upholding historical, sound biblical doctrine and by looking to Christ as our perfect model of glorifying God in thought, word and deed (Mark 8:34; Phil. 2:5-11, 1 Peter 2:21-25).

02

Classical and Christian

Geneva Academy upholds excellence as the inherent standard in Classical Christian education, therefore we give our highest effort to glorify God. As a time-tested method of education that sees God’s Word as the origin of all Truth (Col. 2:1-3), the Classical model tethers itself to the wisdom of history, digs deeply into critical thinking and communication skills, and cultivates a joy of learning for life.

When families partner with Geneva to disciple their children, our primary goal is to nurture their right relationship with God the Father, through Jesus Christ the Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit (Phil. 3:7-11; 2 Cor. 13:14). Families will find they are a right fit for Geneva if they, too, value the continuous development of Christian character in their children more than the pursuit of academic achievement (2 Peter 1:5-9). Our Classical educational model seeks to strengthen the child’s heart, mind and soul by firmly anchoring him or her to the biblical worldview (Eph. 4:14-16).

03

Community Minded

Geneva Academy builds a close-knit community of like-minded, engaged Christian families. Each member of this community plays a critical role in the execution of our mission, and as such must be actively committed not only to Geneva’s core values, but also to the work of the school (1 Cor. 12:20-26). We offer fellowship, parent education and service opportunities to bring families together in Christ.

By God’s grace and the participation of everyone, we continuously nurture an integrated culture of unity and brotherly love between students, families, leadership and staff (Eph. 4:1-3; Col. 3:14).
