Executive Principal's Foreword

​The educational philosophy of GEMS Christian Education Ltd is established on the belief that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. We use the Bible as our sole standard of faith, truth and practice. The Bible provides the framework for all truth, and is the foundation upon which our decision making is based.

GEMS Christian Education through its educational activities embraces a close relationship between school and home, working closely together to develop children into young men and women with sound Biblical ethics and morals. Every student is encouraged to examine and develop a Biblical view of what is real, what is true and what is of value in their lives. As students recognize their identity, we encourage them to diligently use all the resources, talents and gifts that God has given them. Students are taught to acknowledge God as the source of these giftings.

Educators at GEMS Christian Education are expected to have a very clear understanding of both their Christian worldview and how such a worldview affects their educational practice. Teaching staff recognise that they have a calling by God to minister to students, as well as a responsibility to lead students by example into an holistic understanding of their spiritual, academic, physical and emotional development. They are expected to pursue educational leadership characterized by professional competence and to exemplify Christian character and devotion to God.

The College’s curriculum is designed from the perspective of God’s truth and integrates all subject areas within the framework of a Biblical Christian worldview. The curriculum focuses not only on what is taught, but how it is taught and why it is taught. Its central thread is an integration of faith and learning where all truth is valued as God’s truth. Christian culture is essential to GEMS Christian Education as a means in which values, beliefs and ethics are nurtured within the community.
