Our
Story

Headwaters is a ministry of South River Baptist Church established in 2020 to enrich the education of children to love God with all their mind and to encourage a joyful pursuit of His truth. It provides prekindergarten and grade school children with a highly traditional, classically based curriculum stressing the development of moral character, basic skills, logical analysis, and the establishment of a biblical worldview.

MISSION

Headwaters provides a Christian worldview and Christ-centered education leading to a personal belief in God’s Word, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, a passion for intellectual understanding guided by divine wisdom, an appreciation for strong family, and a love for our Nation.

PHILOSOPHY

Children in Headwaters are provided the best possible instruction to know God, His truth, and navigate life as He designed it. We believe that all truth is God’s truth. The supreme revelation of that truth is found in Jesus Christ. God’s revelation is essential to proper reasoning. Thus, Headwaters Academy uses biblical revelation to aid our understanding of other categories of thought and academic disciplines. Our faith seeks understanding of the world that God has created and the truth that we find therein.We seek to train the heart and the mind drawing from modern man’s intellectual and spiritual inheritance found in the Judeo-Christian faith and Greco-Roman culture. We believe that heritage is clearly seen in the American experiment of self-government under law. Headwaters Academy will develop within children the intellectual and personal habits and skills upon which responsible, independent, and productive lives are built.
