Holistic Assessment Approach
At Perseverance Christian Academy, we are committed to nurturing the whole child through a comprehensive assessment system that combines academic screening, yearly monitoring, and spiritual formation evaluations. Our approach ensures that each student’s development is supported across intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual domains.
Why Our Holistic Assessment Stands Out
- Screening for a Strong Start: At the beginning of each school year, we use evidence-based tools to assess developmental milestones, academic readiness, and foundational skills. This allows us to identify strengths and areas needing support early.
- Ongoing Monitoring for Growth: Throughout the year, students’ progress is tracked using formative assessments and observation-based tools. This ensures we are responsive to their changing needs and helps teachers tailor instruction for maximum impact.
- Spiritual Formation Assessments: In addition to academic growth, we evaluate students’ understanding and application of biblical principles. Tools such as reflective journals, Scripture memory progress, and service project participation are used to measure their spiritual development.
Key Components of Our Holistic Approach
- Data-Driven Personalization: Assessment results inform individualized learning plans that address each child’s academic and spiritual goals.
- Highly Trained Educators: Our teachers receive specialized training in child development and spiritual formation to ensure assessments are accurate and meaningful.
- Integrated Review Process: Progress is regularly reviewed by a team, including a psychologist with extensive experience in child and adolescent development, to provide oversight and ensure all aspects of growth are aligned.
- Biblical Character Development: Students are encouraged to demonstrate Christ-like character through daily activities, worship, and interactions, all of which are included in our assessments.
Conclusion
Our holistic assessment system at Perseverance Christian Academy is designed to ensure that every child thrives academically and spiritually. By combining developmental screening, ongoing progress monitoring, and intentional spiritual formation, we provide a framework that equips students to grow into confident, compassionate, and Christ-centered individuals.
