| Mission Statement |
We are an accredited private Christian school which offers a
classical education to home educators who aspire to excellence
in scholarship and Christian faith, and accepts as its statement
of faith the Nicene Creed and the Definition of Chalcedon.
Why 'Timothy'? The Biblical Timothy was raised by a Jewish
mother and a Greek father. He spoke Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
He was home-educated (by his mother and his grandmother). He
grew up to be useful to God and the Church. We, as the classical
home educators, could ask for no better role-model for our
students.
Classical Christian Education is
• an attitude which honours honest scholarship,
history, great literature and the arts, and which understands
mathematics and science as an insight into the mind of the
Creator.
• a methodology based on the developmental stages
of grammar (knowledge), dialectic (understanding), and rhetoric
(wisdom).
• a curriculum which adds history, Latin, logic,
and rhetoric (public speaking) to the basic school program, and
presents all disciplines in light of Scripture.
Education at The Timothy Centre is Classical in that
it
• emphasises the study of history, and introduces students
to many of Western Civilisation's greatest literary works.
• follows the methods of ancient Greece and Rome, as
modified in Medieval, Renaissance and Reformation Europe: the
Trivium of grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric, applied to
all the disciplines.
• teaches the specific 'classical' courses: Latin, Logic,
and Rhetoric.
Education at the Timothy Centre is Christian in that
it
• holds to the Scriptures and the finest of Christian
scholarship in Chapel, classroom discussion, and standards of
conduct.
• follows the method of Proverbs: the Biblical
Trivium of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom,
applied to all the disciplines.
• expects parents to be their children's primary teachers
in the fear of the Lord, the Scriptures, and Christian
doctrine.
Students from every truly Christian church - those who are able
to confess the Nicene Creed - are welcome at the school.
The Timothy Centre provides
• on site 'blended' program
• courses for high school credit
• enrichment courses
• registration for homeschoolers
The Timothy Centre expects
parental ownership of their primary responsibility for the
spiritual growth and education of their children, with an
emphasis on the integration of faith, scholarship, and life
(see Genesis 18:19).
The Timothy Centre office is located at 1911 - 76
Avenue SE, Calgary, in the Riverview Christian Church.
