2007-2008 School Year

37th Year of Christian Schooling

Our Mission:

Heritage Christian School supports families by providing a Christ-centered, comprehensive, academically excellent education for children.  Daily instruction is given so students may become responsible citizens, be led to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, and live according to Biblical truths.

Statement of Faith:

We believe in the historic Christian faith which includes these truths, among others equally precious:

*the full truthfulness, inerrancy and the authority of the Bible which is the Word of God;

*the holiness and the love of the one sovereign God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit;

*the true deity and sinless humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His atoning death, "the just for the unjust"; His bodily resurrection; His glorious coming again;

*Salvation by grace through faith alone;

*the oneness in Christ of those He has redeemed with His own precious blood.

We believe that the Westminster Confession of Faith, together with the Larger and Smaller Catechisms, is a satisfactory exposition of the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scripture.

Philosophy of Education:

A Philosophy of Christian Education is built upon certain presuppositions. God is recognized and acknowledged as the author of all truth, as the Creator and Sovereign Interpreter of every fact. Man, as a creature made in the image of God, is responsible to think in according to the pattern God has established in His Word. As a result of sin, man lost the ability to do this, and has reinterpreted meaning in a humanistic framework. Christian education seeks to restore man to a vital relationship with God, and to bring every thought captive to Jesus Christ.

School Standards:

Dress Code Policy

In accordance with our philosophy and purpose, we believe that the area of dress and social grace for young people is primarily the function of the parents. However, because individual and family standards, along with enforcement, can vary widely, Heritage Christian School has attempted to establish a dress policy that is clear and enforceable. School standards for clothing and appearance are established to promote a wholesome, spiritual, social, and academic atmosphere to encourage our students to reflect a godly character (1 Thess. 5:22) as those who are called to be ambassadors of Christ (2 Cor. 5:20) and to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

Discipline  

Discipline is necessary for the welfare of each student and the entire school. All teachers require adherence to classroom standards in accordance with Scriptural principles.
