First Things

Our people write about classical Christian education.

What are First Things?

Every school has a set of foundational beliefs and principles that governs its content and practices. What are the spoken and unspoken assumptions and principles that govern all that we do at Capstone? In First Things, our teachers, staff, and leadership write about the foundational principles of classical and Christian education.

Schools Aren't All That Important

Schools were never meant to be a child's primary source of education. The home is the educational flagship—not schools. When God sets the educational standards, his focus is upon the formation of students’ minds, hearts, and souls in intact families (Deut. 6:4-9). We want our school to be an extension of your home in such a way that your children find continuity between what you are teaching them, the habits of your family life, and what we are teaching them, and the habits of their school life.

The Joy of Learning

We are training minds to see more of God’s nature and will through all of their studies, not just in Bible classes and chapel services. We know that all that we study was created for and through Christ and that all things are held together by Him (Colossians 1:16-17). So we look for his glory in everything.

Mutual Respect

I believe we all take seriously our covenant commitment to respect the parent’s sovereign role and the teacher’s good intentions and to treat one another as allies rather than adversaries. I believed this before our school ever opened based simply upon the assumption of good faith when we all signed up for this growing ministry. I believe it now because I’ve seen it in action.

The Free and Disciplined Exchange of Ideas

“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” James 1:19-20
