ABOUT GCF-ICS
OUR PHILOSOPHY
GCF International Christian School believes in the supremacy of God in all of life and that life is best lived when it is according to His perfect plan. As a Christian school, the goal is to proclaim the Triune God and to integrate the tenets of the whole Scripture intentionally in every academic curriculum, in extra-curricular activities and the interactive process of learning . Each student is viewed as uniquely created by God in His image to grow in stature, live meaningfully, effectively and joyously in favor with God and man (Luke2:52). Christian principles and values are promoted in all levels of relationships where the Christian character of goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love are nurtured and encouraged. All these are best attained through a healthy partnership of the home and the school.
Mission
To nurture life-long learners who will grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52)
Vision
A Christ-centered community of life-long learners who help transform society
Board of Trustees
Our Board of Trustees is compromised of pastors, elders. corporate executives and members of the academe. They put their expertise together to create balance in how the school is managed
CORE VALUES
Faith, Excellence, Compassion
Faith, compassion and excellence are our core values. They are the values that are intentionally promoted, ingrained in policies, curricula, methodologies, procedures and lived by our constituents. Graphically, each of these core values may be placed on the sides of an equlateral triangle. Faith occupies the base (foundation), while Excellence is one side and Compassion on the other. GOD, being the reason for our being and the center of all that we do, is placed at the apex of the triangle, the focus recipent of the core value of FAITH on its opposite side. The SELF, which includes our gifts, our capabilities and our character is the focus recipient of EXCELLENCE, while COMPASSION is the value promoted in the way we relate with OTHERS.
