The cornerstone of Word of Life International School is its commitment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It is truly our desire that “in everything He might come to have the supremacy” (Colossians. 1:18)

Our Philosophy Of Christian Education

The educational philosophy of Word of Life International School is based on a God-centered view of truth and man as presented in the Bible. Since God created and sustains all things through His Son, Jesus Christ, the universe, and all life are dynamically related to God and have the purpose of glorifying Him. This is particularly true of man who was made in God’s image, different in kind from all other creatures, with the unique capacity to know and respond to God personally and voluntarily.

Because man is a sinner by nature and choice, cannot in this condition know or honor God in life, unless been born of God.

WOLIS acknowledges that the entire process of Christian education is seen as a means used by the Holy Spirit to bring the student into fellowship with God, to develop in the student the mind of Christ, and to train him/her in godly living, so that the student can fulfill God’s total purpose for this life personally and vocationally. The student will be nurtured in the following areas:

Taught the truths of Scriptures so he/she can understand God’s nature and role as well as his/her own.

  • Exposed to opportunities that develop a whole person: spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially.
  • Enlightened on biblical worldview by learning to see all truth as God’s truth and to integrate and interpret it by God’s Word.
  • Equipped as an individual with his/her own unique abilities and personality to learn to live and work with others at home, in the church, and in a changing secular society.
  • Taught by and interact with teacher models that are themselves growing Christians, have a biblical perspective on life and who are doctrinally and spiritually compatible with Word of Life Fellowship Uganda.
  • Through creating partnership with parents to raise a generation that seeks after God’s heart.
