“The key distinctive of a truly Christian education … is the effective practice of worldview integration, that is, an approach to biblical integration that leads to a Christian worldview.” - Martha MacCullough
Real estate in Finland
Finland is a country of endless rocky expanses and deep clean lakes, pristine nature and friendly people. All this wealth attracts thousands of tourists to Finland. However, for the citizens of Russia, this country is attractive not only for its nature. The subject of increased interest among our compatriots is real estate in Finland: houses, cottages, apartments. Of the non-residents of the country who purchase land and real estate in the Finnish expanses, about 80% are citizens of Russia. This number is explained, first of all, by the geographical location of both powers - their immediate neighborhood.
Buying a property in Finland is not only convenient from the point of view of the opportunity to visit your property regularly, but also economically profitable.
The fact is that Finland is one of the few countries with a relatively stable economy and political situation, despite the processes taking place all over the world. And the stable and systematic growth of the country's economy is the key to the constant receipt of dividends, including from real estate.
If you want to make profitable investments abroad, you should first of all consider real estate in Finland, the prices for which, although quite high, are quite justified. Buying an object you like - it doesn't matter if it's an apartment in the capital or a small house in a quiet town - you can be sure that every year the purchase price will only grow. And this is a profitable prospect that can bring considerable income in the future.
It is worth noting that the demand for real estate in Finland has increased significantly recently: the sale of houses, apartments and land to non-residents has become easier, provoking a new boom. The taxation system has also undergone changes, which has also revived the market.
Our compatriots have also become more active. Now ads like "buy real estate in Finland" are much more common. Land is also being actively sold, especially away from large and densely populated cities. By purchasing plots, Russian citizens can afford to start building a house for their own needs and needs, having an excellent opportunity to personally control the process by periodically visiting the construction site.
Looking for an attractive investment object, many prefer real estate in Finland from a developer. At the same time, it is worth paying attention to geography.
The fact is that the cost and price growth in different regions of the republic sometimes differ dramatically. So the most expensive objects are offered by Helsinki. Objects in the north of the country, where the tourist infrastructure is well developed, are interesting in terms of investment. Hoping to buy cheap apartments, it is worth looking at the cities of the central part of Finland. There are many educational institutions here, which forces us to adjust the real estate market and prices for student demand. It is easiest for Russian citizens to buy real estate in Finland in the south and south-east of the country, in close proximity to the border.

Mission Statement
Mission Statement
The mission of Whitefield Academy is to serve Christian families by providing a Christ-centered, Biblically-based education marked by academic excellence and spiritual vitality.
Vision Statement
Vision Statement
The vision of Whitefield Academy is to produce powerful and effective student leaders who will impact their world through Biblical thought and action in obedience to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) and the Great Commandment (Mark 12:30-31).
Philosophy
Philosophy
Whitefield Academy fosters intellectual, moral, spiritual and social development consistent with a commitment to Christian truth, morals and freedom which has been provided by our Creator (Jn 1:3). Because Biblical objective truth directs the learning at Whitefield Academy we reject relativism and secularism that accompany political, ideological or philosophical agendas. Therefore, intellectual inquiry affirms the answers that Christianity offers. The ethical absolutes of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) and Christ's moral teachings guide the effort to develop intellect and character in the classroom, chapel, and co-curricular activities. While many points of view may be examined, Whitefield Academy unapologetically advocates preservation of a uniquely Christian worldview.
Further, Whitefield Academy accepts its role as an institution of academic learning and instruction which serves as a ministry of Highview Baptist Church. This association exists to enhance the following:
- Education is focused on truth, of which God is the ultimate source. He reveals himself to us in nature; in his Son; and in the Bible, the only inerrant, authoritative, and sufficient rule for faith and practice (Heb. 1:1-3; 2 Tim. 3:16,17).
- The Lordship of Christ and the sovereignty of God are all-inclusive; therefore all areas of life and learning are regarded as sacred (Rom. 11:36; 1 Cor. 10:31b)
- Christian education is the result of all knowledge being tested against, and integrated with, a biblically based view of God and the world (2 Cor. 10:4b-5; John 1:3).
- The primary responsibility for the education of children rests with parents (Dt. 6:7,8; Genesis 17:7; Prov. 22:6). However, the Christian school and the church provide complementary roles in educating students for lives of fellowship with God and service to others (Dt. 11:18; Ps. 78:4).
- The Christian teacher, empowered by the Holy Spirit, guides and nurtures students through instruction, admonition and personal example. The Christian teacher is a Living Curriculum that models and encourages students in academic, social and spiritual growth (Col. 1:28; Prov. 1:7).
- God reveals himself to students through revelation, both general and special. Through general revelation students learn of God and His world (Acts 14:17; Rom. 1:18-20). Special revelation and regeneration are regarded as essential components of Christian education because a personal relationship with Jesus Christ provides students with the ability to view life from a Biblical perspective (1 Cor. 2:14).
- All students are created by God with unique talents as well as particular developmental growth patterns. Therefore, the learning process is enhanced as teachers utilize varied teaching strategies and instructional environments (Ps. 139:13-15; Rom. 12:4-8).
- Excellence in the quality of education offered to children brings glory to God and provides a compelling witness to our neighbors (Phil. 1:9-11).
- The goal of Christian education is to develop students who will serve God and affect their community and the world by thinking and acting biblically in all aspects of life (Rom. 12:2).
- Orthodoxy and orthopraxy cannot be divided; therefore student speech and action must bring honor to Jesus Christ so that the students will be able to give reason for the hope which they have in Christ Jesus (2 Tim. 2:15; 1 Pet. 3:15).
Core Values
Core Values
- Centrality of the Christian faith. Whitefield Academy believes that the Bible is the final authority for the Christian relating to matters of faith and practice. We believe in the virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary atonement and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ. These beliefs are foundational to all activities related to the ministry of Whitefield Academy (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
- Compassion and respect for all people. Whitefield Academy believes each individual is uniquely created by God and endowed with specific gifts and abilities. These gifts and abilities, encourage mutual respect, promote Christian love and provide motivation to resolve conflict in a peaceable and Biblical manner (Matthew 18:15-35).
- Commitment to family values. Whitefield Academy exists to serve Christian families in the process of education. As such, the school is supportive of family issues and concerns. We exist to strengthen the family through a balanced educational program that considers the academic and relational needs of the family (Psalm 127).
- Consistent focus on scholastic excellence. Whitefield Academy is a college preparatory program (Preschool-12) with a challenging academic curriculum as well as a comprehensive extracurricular program that allows each student to pursue academic excellence while developing spiritual, physical, social and intellectual disciplines. We intend to produce students who lead by example and impact the world for Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:15).
- Community involvement. Whitefield Academy promotes citizenship and community involvement through school-wide benevolence ministries and community service programs (Matthew 5:13-16).
- Caring attitude of servanthood. Whitefield Academy is dedicated to serving the needs of our parents, students, faculty and staff. Furthermore, we recognize that these persons are the keys to the school's success (Matthew 20:25-28).
- Careful stewardship of all resources. Whitefield Academy is committed to responsible management of the time, talent and treasure entrusted to us by our Creator God (Matthew 25:14-29).
