Our Christian Approach to Education
The Christian approach to education at Forest Edeg Faith Academy emphasizes the development of the whole child—spiritually, intellectually, morally, and socially. Rooted in biblical values, our teaching fosters a Christ-centered worldview, encouraging students to grow in faith, character, and wisdom. We strive to create a nurturing environment where each learner is guided by love, respect, and a sense of purpose, recognizing that all truth comes from God. Through prayer, scripture, and service, we aim to equip students not only with academic excellence but also with a deep commitment to living out their faith in everyday life.
