The Bryn Athyn Church School seeks to provide children with an education based on the teachings of the New Church to prepare them to become confident, caring and useful citizens of this world, and of the Lord's heavenly kingdom.
The purpose of New Church schools, therefore, is to supplement the home in the following ways: to establish in the mind of the child a true idea of God, to protect that sphere of innocence which is the Lord's own with humans, to cultivate in the children an affection for spiritual truth, to serve as a means whereby the child's mind may be opened to the perception and acknowledgement of spiritual truths, and hence a means whereby she may be led to the good of life, to look to the establishment of a spiritual conscience in the understanding and to equip the child for a life of useful participation in society.
