Case Study: The Lion Of Judah Christian Academy
The purpose of this school study is to show the philosophical, historical, and sociological theory/perspective I observed in The Lion of Judah Christian Academy. I start my day by walking into a school full of school spirit and pride.

Upon arrival to school students may choose to eat breakfast or students may choose which center they want to explore for an hour. After free time one of the teachers reads Bible stories and sings worship, praise, and inspirational songs with the students. The next step in this journey is Circle Time. Circle time consists of singing, recognizing, and identifying classroom rules, the calendar, days of the week, and the months of the year, weather, the seasons, shapes, colors, numbers, and alphabet. After Circle Time, it’s time for morning snack. During morning snack, the students may choose a snack provided by the school or a snack provided by their parents. Music plays softly in the background as the students are encouraged to communicate with friends. One of the assistant teachers, places the student’s on a line to go to the bathroom; this line is called the “Bathroom Bus”. Another assistant teacher sets tables with marker and worksheets.

LOJCA’s school pledge states with “God as a guide, knowledge as stride, and confidence as pride, the students are destine to achiever in society”. According to Leo Nora Cohen of OSU School of Education, Idealism is “to discover and develop each individual's abilities and full moral excellence in order to better serve society”. (Cohen) LOJCA also teaches and involves students in civic responsibility and duty that educates them with superior leadership skills, team building ethics and capabilities enabling them to make an impact wherever they go. In Idealism “the main emphasis is subject matter of mind: literature, history, philosophy, and religion. Teaching methods focused on handling ideas through lecture, discussion, and Socratic dialogue (a method of teaching that uses questioning to help students discover and clarify knowledge). Introspection, intuition, insight, and whole-part logic are used to bring to consciousness the forms or concepts which are latent in the mind”.
