The Cultural Programme at ESCS

 

Vision

 

To awaken, encourage and develop the unique God-given talents and abilities in learners and educators, through cultural activities, for the purposes of:

·         quality education linked to the character qualities of God

·         joining hands with parents in the discipling of children

·         involvement in evangelism and outreach

·         assisting those called to be involved in Christian education

(based on the El Shaddai Christian School vision statement)

 

Guiding principles

 

·         Nothing is worth doing unless it is done to bring glory to God

·         Every person is unique with God-given strengths, and should be treated with respect

·         Every person should be encouraged to develop his/her strengths, and to use them to serve mankind and bring glory to God
