"Our commitment at Carey College is to stimulate the ongoing development of Christian teaching.  This must be rooted in a dynamic biblical world-and-life view, one that brings every thought in life, learning and labour into obedience to Christ. "

Foundations
from a submission to Parliament

The foundation for education is found in Genesis 1:1 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.' Everything a child learns is about God, what he has made and what he governs. God made everything, he sustains and directs it by his power and wisdom, and we derive our being from him. In particular, man is created in the image of God. The main goal of education is to teach children to glorify, serve and enjoy their Creator. It is only as God is reverenced and known that any fact is properly understood or able to be wisely used.
