Program Profile

Overview

  • SBH meets Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays 8am-2:30pm at Daybreak Church in Kailua, Hawaii. Thursdays and Fridays are “home days” where parents direct home study. We follow a semester academic calendar for our K-12th grades.

  • We’re committed to cultivating an atmosphere marked by the love, transcendence, and imminence of Christ, and where the best of Western civilization and a love of Hawaiian culture is taught.

  • Our staff are folded into and formed by the rhythms and routines of the Anglican spiritual tradition. The educational community is centered around morning and midday prayer each day, weekly Holy Communion services at the program, and observing the church calendar. Tutors are not required to be Anglican.

  • Through the years SBH has been blessed with a phenomenal teaching staff of committed and passionate educators. 

  • Our cultural principles and expressions are articulated here.

Thinkers and groups that resonate with us

  • The Inklings (approach to the Christian imagination)

  • Peter Leithart (general approach to theology)

  • Charlotte Mason (general approach to education)

  • Keith McCurdy (raising sturdy children)

  • Joshua Gibbs (approach to classical school teaching and culture)

  • Bishop Ken Ross, our bishop (approach to pastoral care)

  • Ken Myers (Mars Hill Audio)

  • First Things Magazine (reflections on American culture)

  • Society for Classical Learning (approach to Classical Christian Education)

  • Theopolis (approach to worship, Psalm singing, and Biblical theology)

  • Hans Boersma (approach to theological philosophy)

In our approach to education we believe

  • The teacher is the curriculum

  • Raising sturdy kids means giving them reasonable challenges

  • Children should learn to love their local community first and by degrees the larger world as they get older

  • Culture is king

  • Conforming our calendar around the life of Christ using the historic Church Calendar

  • Restoring the vision for Christian education that King Kamehameha IV and Queen Emma had for the Hawaiian islands

  • An integrated life of the church and program

  • Seeing discipline problems as opportunities for growth

  • A “strong willed child” is really a child who doesn’t have the strength of will to do the right thing

  • Having a commitment to steady improvement to the program’s culture and systems

  • Marriage was intended to be between one man and one woman to reflect the greater reality of Christ’s covenant love for His people

  • The life of the unborn should be protected

  • Our primary commitment is to pledge our allegiance to God in the Creeds rather than a nation state

  • Nominalism has played a significant role in the development of secularism
