Mission Statement

UpliftED aims to provide a first class educational alternative for Christians who have become disillusioned with the current system of state-controlled education. At UpliftED we believe that the secular orthodoxy in education, whereby God can be separated from teaching and learning or at least banished to the RE classroom, is not only untenable but also contrary to the will of God. God demands to be at the centre of all things for those who seek to diligently serve and follow Him, which makes the very concept of secular education highly problematic for Christian families seeking to lead lives pleasing in God’s sight.

UpliftED aims to correct this non-Christian educational paradigm and place God in His rightful position at the heart of education. At UpliftED, God is not a subjective, nor optional part of a “well-rounded” or holistic education, but is rather the foundation of all knowledge. Religious Education is therefore not one lesson among many as in state-controlled education, but the essential grounding for all teaching and learning.

Purpose

Everything we do at UpliftED is to support and promote our foundational purpose of building up and training young Christians to be the best they can be in all things, thus fulfilling to the utmost everything God has planned for their lives. A core component of this purpose is the teaching of a correct Christian understanding of who they are and why they are here. Today’s Christians need both the tools to thrive and flourish “in the world”, and the over-arching understanding that they are ultimately not “of the world” (John 15:19). These two principles form the raison d’être of UpliftED and the guiding purpose out of which all else flows.
