All schools teach from a worldview, whether explicitly or tacitly, which helps define life's meaning and purpose. At Master's we teach from a Judea Christian perspective. All areas of curriculum at Master's are developed from this premise with instruction and guidance given from a Christian perspective. Since 1997, Master's Academy and College has been developing its 21st century learning model called, Profound Learning™. The Profound Learning™ model, with its signature of innovation and creativity, elevates the academic performance of all students while simultaneously preparing them to be FUTURE READY. Today, Master's Profound Learning™ model is a reality – students become researchers, engineers and designers of the future by engaging in learning experiences designed to cultivate FUTURE READY skills.
