In today’s world your student is bombarded with pressure from all angles. Social media presents them with unrealistic and impossible standards. Global entertainment constantly presents them with a worldview that is not only self-centered, but also encourages them to solely strive for financial success, recognition, and personal pleasure. For many parents, myself included, it can often seem like our child is in a fast moving car being driven by the wrong people while it careens towards a cliff.

With so many voices telling your student’s who they should be and how they should behave, an education that focuses on the right things is essential! Here at Wesley we carefully craft an environment where your student is valued and is taught to value others. Where they focus on the right voice (that of Christ) and on positive influences (parents and other role models). Where their teachers are not only instructors, but mentors, coaches, cheerleaders, and friends.

Here at Wesley we, of course, emphasize quality education and hard work (we are school after-all) but we also focus on building students of character who graduate with a firmly Christian worldview. Because it doesn’t matter how successful a student is; if they are driven by the wrong voices they will eventually crash. Wesley teachers and staff are here to help your student take the wheel and steer towards a worldview with eternal value and character that is ready to positively contribute on a global scale. We truly provide a “Christ-centered education to impact the world.”

Over the past month or so I have been drawn into the story of Exodus. This is in part because our church in the USA has been doing a sermon series that is absolutely fantastic, but regardless the story has spoken to me during this time!

I can imagine Moses, fleeing Egypt, and looking back on his life while he tended his father in law’s sheep. I can imagine him wondering how he ended up in this situation – going from part of Pharaoh’s household to watching over livestock. It is no wonder, then, that when he meets God in the wilderness he doesn’t immediately jump at the chance to return to Egypt and confront an individual who was, arguably, one of the most powerful figures in the known world. I imagine that his spirit was broken, his confidence gone, his drive to be successful a distant memory. Instead, he contented himself with a life of watching sheep. But God had other plans.

He did something new – created a new person out of this broken, weary soul. A sheepherder became one of the most celebrated and powerful figures in Israelite history. A person who was “slow of speech and tongue” (Exodus 4:10) stood in front of Pharaoh and commanded him to obey the words of Yahweh. What a transformation!

This year is certainly a year of new things. But if we are willing to put ourselves in God’s hands we can “approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)

I look forward to taking this journey with you, and pray that you trust in Him to make things new!
