Westgate Christian Academy
What makes Westgate different? Westgate intends to produce Christian scholars. We believe there is no conflict between being taught to think (to learn facts; comprehend those facts; apply the learning; analyze the idea or concept; synthesize information gained from many sources; and evaluate the worth of an idea or object) and being taught to know and love God. Daniel 2:21 – He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. There are 25 passages in the Bible where God affirms the acquisition of both wisdom and knowledge. One cannot think without facts. But the reverse does not hold true. Putting the accent on facts and recall does not in turn spontaneously generate higher level thinking. “The most important single message of modern research is that it is false to think that there is a sequence from lower level activities that do not require much independent thinking or judgment to higher level ones that do†(L. Resnick quoted by Kohn, 1998).
