Community Christian Academy Statement
of Purpose - Mission 1.1. Corporate Mission: The
mission of Christ Community Christian Academy is to serve as an extension of the
Christian home and as a partner with local, evangelical churches in the
Christian education of children. Students are taught that they need to accept
Jesus Christ as their Savior, and the Bible is upheld as the absolute standard
of truth for faith and practice. Every school subject and activity is based on
the School's theme of "Godliness with Excellence in
Principle-Centered Education." The Mission Statement for our instructors is that
each instructor at Christ Community Christian Academy serves as part of a
no-none-sense faculty and staff dedicated to principle-centered Christian living
by precepts and examples which will enable the students to maximize his or her
potential, fulfill their purpose and make a positive contribution to the society
in which we live. Each instructor must have a love for the LORD,
Jesus who is The Christ, enjoy teaching children, and want to make a positive
contribution - through the lives of children - to the society in which we live
before they leave the face of this earth. ARTICLE
2 INTRODUCTION 2.1.
Letter To Parent(s): Welcome to The Christ Community Christian Academy (CCCA) family. You have made an important decision for your child
in regard to his/her education, and we are happy to be a part of your decision. Christ Community Christian Academy was established
Easter Sunday April 12 1998 by Walter K., Jr. and Carrie L. Laidler, who founded
Christ Community Christian Center Church. They were convinced of the need for
Bible and Christ principle-centered program in education. The Board of the
School focuses on three crucial elements for the School: 1.
that all subjects must be taught in conformity to the
standards and principles
of the Bible; 2.
that every teacher must be a born-again Christian with an
ongoing, mature walk
with Christ serving in a local New Testament church; 3.
that the academic training provided by the School would
be of excellence and
high quality. The purpose of the School is to come alongside
of the home and church and assist in teaching young people to think and
behave in a Christian manner. This approach dictates a high level of expectation
in every area of the School's program. The School is highly supportive of parents and
realizes that in the area of character (marked difference that stands out)
and integrity (integrated, combined, synthesized principles in decisions of
one's life), they are the major instructors. In order for the School to do
its job well, we select families that have the same goals for their children
as the School. In that way, we can be mutually supportive, and hence,
effective. We consider your supervision of your child and involvement with
the School as essential ingredients in his/her success. Again, we are happy that you have chosen CCCA. We
look forward to a close and happy relationship as we assist you in
"training up a child in the way he should go". (Proverbs 22:6) 2.2.
Crucial Elements of Parent-School Cooperation: In order to help and guide your child, the School
has set some specific expectations of its parent community. Listed below
are some of the most important of these expectations. 1.
That my child needs a strong Bible and Christ principle-centered home.
Deuteronomy 6.7. 2. That our family is to be consistent in our attendance and
involvement with a Bible-preaching and
teaching church. Hebrews 10:23-25 3. That I am responsible for the education of my child, and 4. That I am expected to pay my tuition on time and, when
possible, cheerfully
give to the expansion of the School and its program.
II Corinthians 9:7 5. That I am expected to express my support for the
School, its staff, faculty, and
administration, and I will withdraw from the School family rather than spread
criticism or be divisive. Psalm 133:1 6. That if I have a problem with the School, I 7. That my child will be disciplined in accordance with 2.3.
Letter To Students:
Welcome to Christ Community Christian
Academy! We are glad that you are a part of the CCCA
student body. We want you to enjoy your education here. The School takes its
responsibilities to you very seriously and expects you to take your
responsibilities as a student seriously. The faculty members love you and are
willing to give of their time and talents to help you. They also love you enough
to discipline you. Each faculty member has a personal walk with Jesus Christ
and desires that this relationship be evident in his or her teaching. If you have a need, whether spiritual, academic,
or social, any faculty member will be happy to be of help to you. Your membership in the student body entitles you
to many privileges: organizations, music groups, and athletic teams are here for
your involvement. You, as an individual, are important to us and we want you to
experience spiritual, academic, and social growth while you are here. Your major responsibility to the School is to cheerfully
cooperate in the educational process, including your willing compliance with
the School's rules and standards. We are glad that you are a part of the Christ
Community Christian Academy Eagles! We have a terrific student body, and we want
you to sense your part in it. Please avail yourself of all the opportunities
that are here for you. Again, welcome to the Christ Community Christian
Academy family. We do care about you. 2.4.
Parent-School Mutual Communication: An element of significant importance in the
schooling of a child is the communication between the teacher and the
student. Communication is interpretative and it is important for parents as
well as the student to understand the work demands and expectations of the
teacher. For that reason, we urge parents to confer directly with the
classroom teachers. Every teacher will make an effort to return a parent's
call on the same day. If the situation is urgent, you may call the teacher
at home. Conferences may be scheduled directly with the teacher or through the
School office. 2.5.
Parent-Teacher Conferences: Conferences may be arranged at any time during the
School year with the teacher. All new School families are encouraged to make a
conference appointment with their child's teacher(s) during the first quarter of
the school year. Parent-Teacher conference nights are scheduled twice during the
School year. These are noted on the School calendar. 2.6.
Parent/Teacher School Problems: Many problems can be resolved with improved
communication between teacher and parents. It is important that parents be
sensitive not only to what is communicated but also when it takes place. For
example, coming by the teacher's room to discuss a problem in the morning before
school is not an appropriate time. To be most effective, communication should
be attempted when both parties can give the situation their attention without
undue distractions or time pressures. If a parent has a problem relating to the School
staff or a teacher, it must be resolved by following the biblical pattern
established in Matthew 18. First step: The parent(s) are to make an
appointment with the
teacher and attempt to resolve the problem at the classroom level. In most cases
this is successful. (Administrators do not normally attend or sit in on these
parent-teacher conferences). Second Step: If the issue remains unresolved,
an appointment should
then be made with the appropriate administrator. It may be necessary for the
teacher to participate in the conference. Final Step: If the School administration
cannot get the issue
resolved, then and only then is it appropriate to contact the School Board. Notice:
Parents who display hostility or lack of self-discipline toward any
School staff member will be asked to remove their children from the School.
The same is true for parents who gossip or attempt to engender a spirit of
strife in the School. 2.7.
Parent-School Meetings: Each year there are a number of meetings planned
to orient parents to the philosophy of the School and to assist parents in the
training of their children. These meetings are announced in the annual and
monthly School calendars. Your attendance and participation are encouraged.
These meetings include: •
Parents' Back-To-School Night •
Grade level parents' meetings 2.8.
CCCA Booster Club: The Eagles' Booster Club is an organization of
School parents, teachers, and friends who are committed to support the School.
Although most schools utilize Booster Club funds solely for the athletic
programs, CCCA Booster funds are distributed to all areas and levels of the
School program. ARTICLE
3 ADMISSIONS
POLICIES 3.1.
Policy-Admissions: A detailed "Admissions Brochure" is
available upon request from the School office. The following admissions
requirements are required of all families applying to the School. 1. An interview by an
administrator of the 2. An
achievement-placement test administered by the
teacher during that interview. 3. A pastoral reference
letter 4. A teacher's reference
letter 5. A review by an
admissions committee member Christ Community Christian Academy admits students
of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges,
programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the
School. CCCA does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or
ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, scholarship
programs, athletic, music, and other School-sponsored programs. 3.3.
Policy-Re-Admission: Families or students who have withdrawn from
Christ Community Christian Academy and then later apply to be readmitted must
have the approval of the School Board. A letter requesting re-admission,
including the reason for leaving, must be sent to the Board at the School
address. 3.4.
Policy-Family Attendance: The policy of Christ Community Christian Academy
is that all school-age children in a family must attend the School if any
child in the family is to attend between K and 8th grade. In rare and
extreme circumstances, the Board may make an exception to this policy. A letter
requesting such an exception must be sent to the Board at the School address.
The philosophy behind this policy is to: 1.
Have the parents commit to their child's education to
such extent that they see themselves as
partners, not as consumers and the school as a provider of a service. 2.
To have the entire family buy into the missions
statement of the School.
Becoming partners in the education of their children is the whole purpose of
Christian education. 3.
To prevent tension from arising which would be
created between the School and parents.
When a family only wants an academically challenged, emotionally and/or
behaviorally troubled child to attend the School while the other academically
talented, and emotionally and socially adjusted children attend other schools,
this does create tension between the School and the parents view of the purpose
of Christian education. 4.
To make Christian education a must for the entire family.
If Christian education is an important must for one child to develop in his or
her Christian character, spiritual maturity and academic excellence, it should
be a must for all the other children. This produces a win/win situation for both
parents and School. 5.
To lovingly instruct every child into active
disciples of Jesus Christ.
The School will seek to bring each child into a loving commitment to Jesus
Christ as Savior and Lord through faith by the Holy Scripture, memorization,
participation, programs and other group activities in order that he/she may
experience the redemption of Christ. Each child, whether he/she has confessed
Jesus and The Christ will be expected to participate as students of the School. ARTICLE
