The truth of the matter is that God is in the midst of all education. He spoke the universe into existence; and with it, all of the laws that govern it. At International School, the students have the opportunity to learn about God’s presence in every area of academics, whether it is the incredible order of mathematics, the wonder of science, or the gift of language. Students learn to see the awesome character and care of God demonstrated everywhere around them.

Each new day of life that the Lord blesses us with is a new opportunity to learn. Following 6 years old, I've spent my entire life in education, growing from being a student myself to being an educator. It does not matter how long I will be an educator for, I will always be a student. I'm a student of Christ. I'm an awe-filled, dreamy eyed child that finds humor in light-hearted things and follows His teaching as there are so many things I have yet to learn. I learn something new each day. Something new about myself, something new about God's character, something new about the world around me, something new about my students or something new about what it means to teach.
The Greek philosopher Socrates once said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” All around him Socrates saw men and women living without purpose and without passion. As he walked around the Athenian marketplace he saw people living for the same basic things: wealth, power and position. Therefore, Socrates set out on a one-man mission to get his fellow Athenians to examine their lives. Socrates was awarded for his efforts with the charge of “corrupting the youth” and was sentenced to death.
Psalm 148 calls for all the earth, animals, and people to praise God.
Praise is not just a form of words or exercise we say or sing at set times during the week. We do not praise God by just having the words come out of our mouths. Praise is a living condition — a joyful, thankful state of mind and heart that are acted upon. We must constantly challenge ourselves to keep Christ as the central reality of life.
