Biblical Womanhood Wednesdays
Every year from grades 5 through 11, our students’ Bible, Core Subject, and Elective courses are complemented by our Signature Courses in Biblical Womanhood which meet every Wednesday. This unique program of study trains students in applying the wisdom of God's Word to every area of their hearts, lives, relationships, and the world around them, while learning from godly female role models of various ages and stages of life, diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, and wide-ranging interests, skills, and vocations. The goal is for our students to make profound connections between what they are learning in class and how it applies to real life in the real world. As a result, they experience a marked increase in their motivation toward, appreciation for, and enjoyment of the education process.
The culmination of our Biblical Womanhood courses is our senior year Capstone Internship. With input from her parents and teachers, each 12th grade student selects a customized internship on or off campus designed to further develop and express her individual gifts and passions while preparing for her future after graduation.
For students in grades 5 through 11, Wednesday's schedule consists of three focused initiatives: Biblical Womanhood Class, Biblical Womanhood in the Community, and Personal Discipleship.
Biblical Womanhood Class
During first period on Wednesdays, students are refreshed and refined through a highly interactive, discussion-based class devoted to the below areas of emphasis, as well as a focused time of group prayer and Scripture memory:
Health & Wholeness I- emphasizing the process of heart transformation and increasing victory over sin in the lives of believers combined with principles and practices related to physical health including proper nutrition, fitness, and rest.
Health & Wholeness II- emphasizing the establishment of each student's secure identity in Christ and daily dependence on Him along with the exploration of additional principles and practices related to physical health.
Flourishing Relationships- emphasizing the biblical call to and provisions for healthy family and peer relationships, conflict resolution, and God-honoring relationships with the opposite sex marked by purity and respect.
Life & Leadership- emphasizing the principles of godly decision making as well as the motivation, attitudes, and actions that characterize godly leaders and influencers with the goal of modeling these to the school community and other peers.
Virtues of Biblical Womanhood- emphasizing the beauty of God's creative and redemptive purpose for the female sex, the various character traits and competencies outlined for us in Scripture, and implications for our service to His kingdom in the family, church, and community.
Evangelism & Apologetics- emphasizing engaging unbelievers in spiritual conversations, communicating the biblical gospel, and sharing one's personal testimony, as well as forming a basic biblical understanding of competing religious beliefs and opposing worldviews.
Interpersonal Discipleship- emphasizing the sufficiency of Scripture for addressing personal and relational struggles, including a biblical perspective of psychology/mental health and how the power of Christ enables one's self and others to change in practical, profound, and lasting ways.
