HOME: The philosophy of Tennessee Temple International Academy emphasizes the interrelationship of three institutions (the home, the church, and the school) working together for the betterment of the child. At Tennessee Temple International Academy, it is our firm conviction that proper training first begins in the home. The home was the first institution God set up on earth, and it is where the child first learns set patterns of behavior. Each child learns to respond to discipline and authority as he reacts to the controls or guidelines of the mother and father. There he also learns how to respond to other individuals, either by playing with other children in his family or those who live nearby. So it is in the home where the child learns a value system of right and wrong. When a child is taught proper discipline and respect in the early years at home, he is then ready for formal education and to develop the skills necessary for him to face life successfully.

CHURCH: It is our conviction that God has also instituted His church as the institution directly responsible for the winning of the unsaved to Christ and the exhorting and training of the saved. This responsibility includes the teaching of Biblical principles of living as found in the Holy Scriptures. We believe that the Bible describes the local church as a body of born-again believers led by a pastor under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We, therefore, affirm that Christian children must be taught respect for God, His Word, and the Biblical principles of His Word, and that children should live by these principles. In brief, a few examples of Biblical principles, which we teach, are as follows:

• God has always existed, will always exist, and has all knowledge and truth (Genesis 1).
• God created the heavens and the earth and all plants and animals that live upon the earth.
• God created man in His own image. Man, through disobedience, sinned against God, and chose to please himself rather than to please His Creator.
• All men (children included) are sinners by nature. We naturally are selfish, and therefore commit sins against God, others, and ourselves. (Romans 3:23).
• In order to defeat sin and live by the Biblical principles, each one needs a personal relationship with God. This relationship is obtained by first realizing one is a sinner; second by seeking Jesus Christ as the perfect, sinless Son of God who died on the cross to pay for the individual’s sins; and then by having faith in that payment and, in repentance, calling upon the Lord Jesus to come into his heart and save him. (Romans 10:9,10,13).
• A Christian should live at peace with his fellow man and love his neighbor as himself.
• A child should honor his father and mother.

We expect our families to faithfully attend church in order for us to achieve together the spiritual goals, which we desire our children to reach.

SCHOOL: It is our conviction that a school is an institution set up by man for the education and training of our children. A school should provide both an environment and a curriculum conducive to effective learning. We believe that, as a Christian school, it is our responsibility to build Christian character in our students. We believe that children should be trained to do what is right because it is right to do right, and not to do so just for rewards. We believe that there is a natural need for well-defined boundaries governing their behavior. The teacher in our classroom is the authority and must be upheld and respected by the students and their parents. We expect our students to be honest and to exercise personal initiative in class work and homework. Therefore, in summary, our philosophy may be stated as follows:

• There is final, absolute truth, which as a unit centers in the Creator God.
• This truth is revealed in the Bible and is personified in Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of God.
• Education is a Christ-centered, Biblically-integrated process of developing spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially.
• The ultimate aim of life is not adjustment to the age but conformity to Christ to glorify God.
• The objective is achieved by a disciplined life of sacrificial service, patterned after Him who pleased not Himself.
• Patriotism is the love and loyal support of a person for his/her country. This includes attachment to a country’s land and people, admiration for its customs and traditions, and devotion to its well-being. The term “patriotism” implies a feeling of oneness and membership in the nation. Outstanding literary works praise loyalty to country and willingness to suffer even death in defense of a country’s freedom and good name. Our school endeavors to develop patriotism in order to create an appreciation for the common memories, hope, and traditions of our country.
