Our spiritual philosophy is deeply rooted in truth. We believe that wisdom and purpose begin with understanding our Creator who is in us, with us, and for us. Furthermore, we believe from outstanding and undeniable evidence that Jesus not only existed, but changed existence itself through his humble divinity and resurrection. With this, we aim to cultivate an understanding of faith that each child can call upon for the rest of their lives.

Our commitment to Christian principles means that we are actively seeking the Lord, and in our journey we are disciplining young hearts and minds to do the same. We share stories from the bible and other sources as context for understanding the love of God. Our goal is to introduce each child to Jesus, so that they may learn the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. 

Here are some of the core values we strive to instill in our students, guided by our faith:
‍
‍Love and Compassion: We teach children to love God and to love their neighbors as themselves. This translates into acts of kindness, empathy for others, and a spirit of generosity within our school family and beyond.
‍
‍Integrity and Honesty: Rooted in God's unchanging character, we emphasize the importance of truthfulness, trustworthiness, and doing what is right, even when it's difficult.
‍
‍Respect and Humility: We encourage students to show respect for themselves, for their peers, for their teachers, and for God's creation. We also foster humility, recognizing that all our gifts and abilities come from God.
‍
‍Diligence and Perseverance: Our faith teaches us the value of hard work and not giving up. We encourage students to pursue excellence in their studies and activities, understanding that their efforts honor God.
‍
‍Gratitude and Joy: We help children recognize and appreciate the many blessings in their lives, cultivating a spirit of thankfulness that leads to genuine joy.
‍
‍Forgiveness: Understanding God's grace and forgiveness for us, we teach children the importance of forgiving others and seeking reconciliation.

Our teachers and staff serve as mentors, not just educators. We are committed to shepherding each child, helping them discover their unique talents and purpose within God's plan. Through prayer, biblical teaching, and living out these values in our daily interactions, we aim to:

‍Build a strong moral compass: Guiding children to make wise and God-honoring choices.
‍
‍Foster a sense of belonging: Creating a safe and loving community where every child feels valued.
‍
‍Inspire a lifelong pursuit of wisdom: Encouraging critical thinking alongside spiritual understanding.
‍
‍Celebrate God and not human things: Emphasizing the true meaning of our holidays and magnifying the glory of God.

The aim of Heartstone Academy is to be more than a school for the mind, but also a school for the spirit. We are not the source of truth, but we are blessed enough to know what that truth is and we shepherd toward it under the guidance of Jesus.
