School Doctrine

(Article 2 of Constitution and By-Laws)
The basis of this Association is the Word of God. In the light of this Word we in our educational program stand committed to the following truths:
1. We believe and teach that God is our ultimate authority; the Bible has authority as the Word of God, divinely inspired as originally given.

2. We believe and teach in accordance with the Apostle’s Creed:
We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

3. We believe and teach that God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society.
For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female.

4. We believe and teach that parents are responsible for the education of their children. Our school exists to partner with and help parents raise their  children according to the truths of the Word of God.

5. We believe and teach that all students are made in the image of God. We believe and teach that God is visible in all he has made and in what he does. Our teaching reflects this biblical worldview.

6. We believe and teach unity in the church in the midst of diversity. We encourage students to think and handle questions in light of the truth of God’s Word.
