Alpha Omega Publications®’Philosophy of Education• Biblically Based: We believe that the Word of God is the st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>and</strong> foundation <strong>for</strong>truth. Our educational resources will not contradict that which is written in the Bible.• Cognitive Reasoning: Questions in the <strong>LIFEPAC</strong> ® s are designed to develop a student’scognitive reasoning. We go beyond the rote memory questions (true/false, multiplechoice, <strong>and</strong> fill-in-the-blank) <strong>and</strong> ask questions that require analytical skills (shortanswers, short essays, <strong>and</strong> experiments).• Mastery Learning: We believe every student should begin any subject at his or herpresent “learning level or skill,” not where someone else says or hopes the studentshould be. This is usually accomplished through diagnostic testing.• Integrated Subject Material: We believe all subject material should be integrated to helpa student see that life is not “compartmentalized”. Mathematical skills are necessaryin science, scientific research is rich in historical data, <strong>and</strong> language arts is valuablein communicating God’s Word, history, <strong>and</strong> science. In <strong>LIFEPAC</strong>s, God’s truth isintegrated in each of the core subjects–mathematics, history, science, <strong>and</strong> languagearts.• Personalized Instruction: We believe that a student excels in learning when the teacheris involved. Our curriculum is not a self-study course. The questions as well as contentdem<strong>and</strong> personal instruction <strong>and</strong> input. It is the teacher’s responsibility as well as ablessing to personally instruct students.3
