CISP

Series Part 2: CISP (Christian International School of Prague) is our primary ministry in Prague, Czech Republic. As missionaries, Matt teaches IT (information technology) and Kate teaches History & Geography. This summer, the board and administration were able to rework the school's vision statements to add clarity and focus. We are honored to be a part of this ministry opportunity. Here is what CISP stands for:

Vision – a noun
Students who are followers of Jesus among the nations expressing their faith by thinking biblically, and loving and serving their communities for Him.

Mission – a verb of HOW we will achieve the vision
CISP provides, from a biblical perspective, an academically excellent and practically oriented education within a loving community.

Core Values – Beliefs that are shared among the stakeholders of an organization and drive the culture of the school
  -Faith in Christ
  -Walking in Truth
  -Grace in community
  -Biblical in worldview
  -Learning for a lifetime 

__________
CISP has a holistic approach to education. That means that we uphold the typical education subjects like Math & History; AND we also value things like Community, Faith, Service, & Character. In addition to teachers emphasizing these things in the classroom, on Wednesdays we have an alternate schedule that facilitates time for chapel and for students to do service projects in the community. We believe that this is an essential part of education.

On our first wednesday of the school year, we had an assembly. Here are a couple of pictures:
