PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
The Role of the Parent
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is
one LORD: And thou shalt 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, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto
thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and
when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest
up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand and they shall be as
frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy
house, and on thy gates” (Deuteronomy 6:4-9)
“Train up a child in the way he should
go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6)
Clearly, it is the responsibility of
the parent to teach and to train their own children. These and many other
verses reiterate the responsibilities of the parents and provide the
instructions needed to teach according to Biblical principles..
The responsibility of the VBCA
parent is to partner with the academy to provide a Christian education for
their child. In doing so, the following is important:
-
To provide a Christian environment at
home – including a family altar and Biblical instruction for living.
-
To take your child to church a
minimum of one day each week.
-
To provide a computer of sufficient
quality to access the internet by DSL, then access the student’s schoolwork
at the academy.
-
To provide a quiet place for study
and require study time in each subject each subject each night (five minutes
for levels 1-3; ten minutes for levels 4-7; fifteen minutes for levels
8-12), and to sign the planner indicating it has been completed.
-
To attend all conferences, open
houses, programs and activities in order to show your child that you are
committed to his education.
-
To provide clean uniforms in good
repair and all necessary school supplies.
-
To provide transportation to and from
school in a timely manner.
-
To make all payments, including yet
not limited to tuition, fees, transportation, field trips, etc. by their
dates.
-
To recognize that he staff is
comprised of professional educators who have dedicated their lives to
providing a Christian education for all students.
-
To support the classroom teacher and
the school’s policies, in the event that discipline is required.
The Calling of the Christian Academy
“O Lord, I beg you, let the man of God
you sent to us come again to teach us how to bring up the boy who is to be
born” (Judges 13:8, NIV).
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 parents to train the
whole child.
Participation in this school ministry
is a privilege and not a right. The goal of this school is to selectively
enroll students, training Christian youth in the highest principles of
Christian leadership, self-discipline, individual responsibility, personal
integrity, and good citizenship. This school stands without apology for the
Gospel of Jesus and the highest standards of morality and Christian behavior.
