Times have changed! We parents live in the era of knowledge, industry and technology. We relied on rote learning to be ahead of the crowd, but since children now are living in the world of advanced technology, including the Internet and artificial intelligence, information is readily available online. Education is no longer the same as in the past, therefore it must catch up with the international standard. As wise men said, our children’s needs in the future are good conduct (high EQ), wisdom, and experience.
LUCA (which stands for “Light Unity Christian Academy”) is named after the Holy Bible’s spirit of ‘light’ and ‘unity’. In Latin, LUCA has the meaning of ‘light’ and ‘knowledge’. Light is formed from 7 types of colors, which, when unified, create a holistic and beautiful light. Light helps us live in love and hope, instead of losing our way in darkness. Moreover, LUCA aims to help our children to not merely have accomplishments in knowledge, but to truly learn to apply principles deeply rooted in biblical truth, to become highly developed in both intellect and emotions, as children of light. LUCA provides an environment with principles and love, to help our children grow amidst light and wisdom.
Light Unity Christian Academy will be run by the Golden Lampstand Baptist Church in 2018. This Academy is set up because we see the needs of our own children, and also it will be a blessing to our neighbourhood. We are grateful that among the people who will be serving in LUCA are the Principal of Education Centre, an experienced teacher from the Singapore Junior College, retired teachers, and people who are well-experienced in education.
