Admissions Policy

The objective in building a private Christian school is to obey the Scriptural imperatives of Deuteronomy 6:5–7:

"...love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shalll be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children..."

and of Proverbs 22:6 to:

"...train up a child in THE way he SHOULD go..."

We believe that teaching is training and that training for life must include training for eternity. A Christian school is an extension of the Christian home in training young people in a Christian environment for time and eternity. The school staff works closely with the parents to train the whole child.

Attendance at this school is a privilege and not a right. The goal of this school is not to reform, but to train Christian youth of every ability in the highest principles of Christian leadership, self-discipline, individual responsibility, personal integrity, and good citizenship. This school stands without apology for the truth of the Gospel and the highest standards of morality and Christian behavior.

The following standards and policies must be kept in mind:

All students will be committed to the purpose and philosophies of SCA.

All students will cooperate with those in authority over him/her and will maintain respect for this authority.

The student's behavior away from school must remain Christ-like. Any use of, possession of, or involvement with, tobacco, drugs, alcohol, gambling, swearing, cheating, fighting, stealing, lying, immorality, or un-Christian entertainment or behavior (including internet usage) may result in immediate expulsion from SCA.

Any student's admission to SCA is based upon a family interview with the administration and a signed agreement from parents and students declaring that they will abide by the rules and standards of SCA.

All students are accepted on a six-week probationary period in regard to academics and discipline.

All students must be open to instruction from a Christian perspective.

Parents must be united in the belief that enrollment at SCA is best for their child. Parents must exhibit a strong desire to have their child taught from a Christian perspective. SCA accepts only those students we anticipate being able to help. At this time, we are not equipped to handle physically or mentally challenged students.

Parents must be in agreement with policies made for the betterment of the school body. We expect parents to support rules, staff, and administration. Parents who are not in compliance with the philosophy of the school may be asked to withdraw their child.
