Philosophy Statement

AT the Edge Pull-out Enrichment Program

Bellevue Christian School provides multiple opportunities for students to develop their unique, God-given gifts.

“...we have different gifts, according to the grace given us.”   
                Romans 12:6b

The AT the Edge program recognizes these gifts and serves the needs of academically talented students through a curriculum that is qualitatively different...in content, fluency, depth, and speed. Academically Talented (AT) students thrive in a faster-paced environment alongside like-learners with a curriculum focused on divergent thinking, creative problem solving, and higher level thinking skills.

Each unit of study integrates the Christian world view and encourages students to develop a humble spirit and an appreciation of others.

"Do not think of yourselves more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourselves with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you."           Romans 12:3

Learning to unwrap and identify their God-given gifts empowers students to serve God's kingdom in their family, school and community.
