Who We Are
Midway School is a ministry of Midway Presbyterian Church. We are a private, not-for-profit school whose purpose is to equip young men and women for the glory of God.
WE ARE COVENANTAL
A covenantal education is a return to the Scriptural mandates, jurisdictions, and relationships. We believe that relationships are at the heart of any true discipling endeavor. Covenantal educating is an investment in one another sacrificially, consistently and Scripturally. It is working together to develop a Biblical world and life view with the understanding that knowledge and wisdom come from God.
True education is the substantive process of taking on the mental and spiritual discipleship of our students by establishing intimate, tutorial, and familiar relationships. This reinforces both the authority and the responsibility of parents in training the next generation of leaders. We then work in chorus with the family to build a community of believers who are striving to be "STUDENTS of God’s word, SERVANTS of Christ and each other, SOWERS of the message of truth, and STEWARDS of their gifts, time, talents, and resources for the glory of God. All adult members in the school community make a covenant to support and maintain a common set of beliefs based on God’s word.
WE ARE CLASSICAL
What is classical education? Definitively, classical education is proven scholastic methodologies and curricula (i.e., courses of study) which concentrate on teaching a core body of knowledge (i.e., art, geography, history, language, literature, mathematics, music, religion, and science) as well as the literacy skills of reading and writing. Furthermore, there is significant emphasis on the development of learning skills (i.e., study, inquiry, research, and discovery) which shape the abilities to question, think, reason and decide. In addition, much emphasis is placed on grammar, logic and rhetoric.
Grammar: The beginning fundamental rules of each subject - grades K-6
Logic: The ordered relationship of particulars in each subject - grades 7-10.
Rhetoric: How the grammar and logic of each subject may clearly be explained - grades 10-12.
Moreover, classical education is an environment of hard-work, challenge, testing, evaluation, feedback, setbacks, rewards, and achievement. It is an environment which strengthens interpersonal relationships as well as personal skills and abilities. It shapes values, character, and confidence.
Finally, classical education provides the necessary academic, intellectual and spiritual resources for higher learning and career development. Most important, it provides the foundation and resources for life as well as a lifetime of learning with an emphasis on a Biblical world and life view.
