Veritas Christian Academy Philosophy

 

*  Parents have a God-given responsibility for the education of their children, and therefore, parents are expected to take an active role in the education process.

*  Teachers and staff who stand in place of the parents during school hours, should genuinely model the Christian world and life view with love and grace.

*  Since God’s truth is revealed in the Scriptures as well as in all creation, the Christian worldview approach integrates the truth of the Scriptures with learning in all subject matter.

*  We aspire towards academic excellence and conduct that is honoring to God in an attempt to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, and mind.

*  Academic and character development should promote principled reasoning, a love of learning that brings glory to God, and an attitude of servant-leadership which allows the student to become all that God calls him to be.

*  Prayer is essential to this Christian institution, and we solicit the prayers of all who are involved with our mission so that the unity of the Spirit and the peace of the Lord will be manifest in all our activities.

 

Admission Policy

 

In recognition that children are a precious gift from God, our mission is to serve as a helping partner to Christian families in the nurture and training of their children; therefore we have prayerfully adopted the following admissions standards:

 

*  Scripture makes it clear that God has given parents the primary responsibility to instruct their children in love and fear of the Lord.  Our mission is to reinforce and supplement the religious training given in the home.  Therefore, we require that at least one parent (or guardian) be a professing Christian.  Our Christian parents should be affiliated and in good standing with a local congregation.  We maintain that church attendance is essential in the spiritual training of students at Veritas Christian Academy.  Parents (guardians) should also actively participate in the ongoing religious training of their children at home.

*  We believe that God has given to the parents the responsibility to discipline their children;  it is not our role to bring under control children who are in rebellion against parental authority.

*  While we recognize the worth and promise of all children, we also recognize that we are not professionally trained or equipped to minister to children with certain medical conditions or severe learning disorders; therefore we may be unable to accept these precious children for admission. 

*  Veritas Christian Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, or national origin in the administration of its admission policies.
