Guidelines

Faith Christian Academy recognizes that it cannot meet the educational needs of all children. While we care about all children, we may not equipped to meet certain needs. Some children do not adjust to a disciplined academic environment and find excuse to criticize the policies and decisions of Staff and Administration. In such cases the School reserves the right to place such students on probation for a reasonable period of time, and to dismiss any student who does not cooperate with the total educational process.

Procedures

Admission of students transferring from a church and/or school already using A.C.E. curriculum may take place at any point during the academic year. Students coming from schools not using the A.C.E. curriculum are normally only admitted at the beginning of a quarter.

The following are the necessary elements of the admissions procedure and are listed in their typical order of occurrence. They are, however, not limited to this order of occurrence.

1. Parents contact/visit the school
2. Read provided handbook segments
3. Submit application
4. Parents and student must interview with the administration
5. Parents will be notified of acceptance or denial
6. Student takes Initial Entrance Test once test fee has been submitted
7. After testing is complete, families must meet to review test results, establish academic prescriptions, and review and sign the parent-school agreement
8. Transcripts requested from student’s previous school
9. Parents and student attend Parent Orientation
10. Necessary forms must be filled out and submitted. Students will be denied entrance to school until all forms have been properly filled out and returned to school. Any days that students are absent due to forms not being filled out will count as unexcused absences
11. New students are required to take the Stanford 10 Achievement Test at the beginning of the year. Students in levels 2, 5, and 8 are required to take the OLSAT 8 in conjunction to the Stanford 10

Biblical Grievance

Decisions in the school need to be made on the basis of principle, not whim of individual discretion. Our desire is to train our students in Biblical precepts. Therefore, anytime a problem arises, we expect everyone to follow Matthew 18 principle--
1.Go talk to the one directly involved, NO ONE ELSE.
2.If you are not satisfied after doing #1, then go a supervisor; if the supervisor is the problem, the Headmaster.
3.If the problem is still not resolved after #1 and #2, request a meeting with the School Board.

Matthew 18 (KJV)

Zero Tolerance of Abuse

Faith Christian Academy is a Christian school that seeks the highest of standards of teaching, conduct, and discipline. Our staff has the responsibility to help each student in all aspects of their lives, including the intellectual, emotional, and physical. Parents should indubitably share this responsibility as well.

If, for some reason, we suspect that the student is being abused physically, sexually, verbally, and/or emotionally, or if the student lets us know someone is abusing them in any which way, we are obligated to notify the relevant authorities immediately. Likewise the same must happen if we notice any negligence in the care of the child (including diet, hygiene, and/or physical condition).

Our staff does NOT tolerate and kind of mistreatment or abuse of our students.
​
It is extremely important that one, as the parent, monitor the welfare of one’s child, while providing an environment both healthy and peaceful. One must help them develop into a model adult by correcting their mistakes while letting them keep a high self-esteem of their selves. One must make them feel loves, appreciated, and accepted.
