Faith, Science and Reason
At Light of Christ Academy, students are taught that faith, science, and reason go hand-in-hand and are not in conflict with one another. Students are taught that God is the First Cause of everything in the universe and that He created the systems and processes that make the universe and the planet work so perfectly. It is through science that people attempt to understand those beautiful, perfect, systems, and processes. Our goal is that students better understand science and have an appreciation of the miraculous Creation God has made.

Integrated LearningScience is integrated into the various subjects studied. Students are taught science and engineering principles using a hands-on approach by observing God's creation, wondering, discussing, and journaling. They also engage in investigations, create models, and involve themselves in the practical application of science. Students have access to an abundance of excellent science equipment with which they can explore God's creation.
