“The end of education is to know God and the laws and purposes of His universe, and to reconcile one’s life with these laws. The first aim of a good college is not to teach books, but the meaning and purpose of life. Hard study and the learning of books are only a means to this end. We develop power and courage and determination and we go out to achieve Truth, Wisdom, and Justice.”
Quote by John Watson, former President of A M & N College (Now University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff)
Mission Statement
The Living Water School exists to provide an environment where students are encouraged to learn independently, lovingly share the gospel of Jesus Christ and to make disciples of any student who chooses to grow in their relationship with the Lord.
We accomplish the mission by helping our students FLOW in their educational and life journey:
F-Follow a child’s interests, passions, learning style, and learning pace
L-Liberal Arts Education as we understand it, is when children learn freely through exploration, dialogue of their thoughts and opinions, and by interaction with Living Books and Classic literature, the school community and the world
O-Open to exploring and respecting others’ perspectives, backgrounds and worldviews for understanding and without fear of compromising their own beliefs
W-Worldview based on Christianity
Vision Statement
To be able to provide a Christ-centered and free learning environment for all students that desire it in the Greater Washington Metropolitan area
