A WARRIOR EDUCATION
MORE THAN READING, WRITING, & ARITHMETIC
By Heather Bennett, Communications Specialist
“There is such power in the wisdom to ‘begin with the end in mind.’ Bottom line: outcomes matter! The Board of Trust and I hold these six outcomes to be our preferred destination for each and every student at Little Rock Christian. Pray with us that it may be so,” rallies Dr. Gary Arnold, President/Head of School.
These student characteristics and outcomes are near and dear to the hearts of Little Rock Christian’s faculty and staff. They frame day-to-day efforts to help young Warriors become the men and women God beautifully designed them to be. Here, six members of upper school leadership share their thoughts on each section of the Portrait of a Preferred Graduate.
Sarah Jones, Director of Spiritual Life on Authentic Faith
Jesus is at the center of everything we do at Little Rock Christian Academy. Our ultimate prayer is for our graduates to live lives by faith through knowing and loving God, caring for His people, and resting on the hope of the gospel.

A strong Biblical Worldview is the best weapon we can equip our graduates with to combat the confusion and chaos of our society. Their ability to discern Truth is not only necessary for salvation but also for sanity and stability. To bring Light into darkness, to speak Truth clearly in personal relationships, in future communities, and the workplace—this is the fruit of a Biblical Worldview that discerns Truth and engages society effectively.
We want our students to be able to handle the daily life of being good humans and loving people like God loves them. It makes such a difference in connections with others.

Wisdom extends beyond head knowledge. It is solidified in God-breathed life experiences that distinguish righteousness from ungodliness thus shaping how life is to be lived at all times.
Formation doesn’t end at the schoolhouse gates. We want to cultivate the life-long habit of thinking well and pursuing wisdom, not just knowledge.
