Our Purpose

The primary purpose of the school is to provide a sound academic education integrated with a Christian view of God and the world. This requires that the curriculum present life as it really is. At Haili we believe that the only way a student can understand his place in the world is by understanding and acting upon what the Creator says about Himself and His creation.

God is the creator and sustainer of all things and the source of all truth
God maintains control over His entire universe
Man is part of the creation but unique in that he alone is created in God's image. He alone must choose whether he will have a relationship
Because of sin, man lost his ability to have an abiding relationship with God by deliberate choice
God supplied the means for re-establishing that relationship through His Son Jesus Christ
It is impossible to please God unless we have faith in Him. (Hebrews 11:6) Faith is acting on His promises
Regeneration is the spiritual change wrought in man by the Holy Spirit, by which he becomes the possessor of a new life by faith in Jesus Christ. True meanings and values can be ascertained in the light of His person, purpose and work
God has revealed Himself in a general way in His world and universe and in a specific way in the Bible

THE PARENT-SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP

A parent-school partnership develops when both parent and school commit to working together.

As between a husband and wife in a healthy marriage, cooperation and communication between the parent and the school are vital. The school is committed to communicate regularly to the parent about the student's progress. Parents are also encouraged to initiate contact with the teachers. Haili cannot accomplish its purpose without the cooperation of the home in regard to the guidelines established for our students.

God has given parents the responsibility for the discipline and instruction of their children. They are to train each one diligently in God's truth. (Ephesians 6:4; Deuteronomy 11:18-21).

Parents who select Haili Christian give our faculty and staff authority to teach and train their children. The school assists parents in teaching truth to their children and in training them according to biblical standards. (Psalm 34:11; Luke 6:40)

All instruction at Haili is related to the Word of God. We intend to teach every subject from a biblical perspective to provide the viewpoint, general background truth, and principles for interpreting the facts encountered in the study of any subject.

Parents who decide to enroll (or re-enroll) their child in Haili Christian School are providing an education, which is openly committed to a biblical view of God and life.
