About Samuel Fuller School

Our Mission
Samuel Fuller School exists to support Christian parents in educating their children to serve God as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ by providing a classical education that is rooted in the Word of God.

Our Vision
Our vision is to graduate students who love and serve God with wisdom and grace, truth and courage. We want them to recognize God as the beginning and end of all true knowledge. We want them to be known as men and women who listen carefully, think critically, communicate eloquently, serve compassionately, and represent Jesus Christ faithfully. We hope to raise the standard of godliness in our culture one student at a time and thereby advance Christ’s kingdom in this world.

Our Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God written. The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for his own glory, man’s salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in: the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal visible return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. This is by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling power and fullness the Christian is enabled to live a godly life in this present fallen world.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of damnation.
7. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in Jesus Christ.
8. We believe that marriage is ordained by God to be the union of one man and one woman, and that the primary responsibility of raising children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord belongs to their parents.

Who was Samuel Fuller?
The Reverend Samuel Fuller was the first pastor of the First Congregational Church in Middleborough which was established in 1694 and now, 300 years later, is encouraging the birth of this school. Reverend Fuller would have had a classical education similar to the kind we will be attempting to provide. As one who sought to advance the kingdom of God in New England, Reverend Fuller's life is an example of what we want to do in raising children to serve the Lord with all of their ability in this world.

Why choose Samuel Fuller School?
We recognize and respect the primary responsibility of Christian parents to educate their children and to decide how best to prepare them to be salt and light in the world. At a time when the integrity of the Christian faith is under increasing challenge and the influence of Christianity in our culture is waning, we desire to help parents lay a solid foundation in their children’s lives that they may become godly men and women who make a difference in this world.

Where is Samuel Fuller School located?
The school will be meeting in facilities provided by the First Congregational Church in Middleborough, MA. The church is conveniently located at the intersections of Routes 44 and 105.

Who will benefit from Samuel Fuller School?
The Samuel Fuller School seeks to serve Christian families for the benefit of all students, regardless of their future educational or vocational goals. Though it is one of the obligations of Samuel Fuller School to produce competitive students who will excel in institutions of higher education, the school does not exist solely for those students. We are a school for future carpenters, statesmen, scientists, poets, and police officers who will live their lives and perform their jobs as well-rounded, rational-thinking, strong Christian servants and leaders. A classical education has proven to be beneficial to a vast majority of students, and Samuel Fuller School welcomes any student who desires to be engaged in a rigorous, Bible-based educational setting that will help them live, learn and grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

How is Samuel Fuller School governed?
Samuel Fuller School is independently incorporated. It is governed by a Board of Directors, the majority of whom are members of the First Congregational Church, Middleborough, Massachusetts. The school administrator answers directly to the Board of Directors and is responsible to it.
