Schaeffer Academy will closely adhere to the Statement of Faith and Statement of Purpose. The philosophy and content of education at Schaeffer Academy are founded upon the principle that it is necessary to remain faithful and obedient to the truth of God as revealed in the Scriptures. Schaeffer Academy attempts to operate as an extension of the family, recognizing the God-given responsibility and authority of parents to educate their children. At all its levels, programs and teachings, Schaeffer Academy seeks to: 1) Teach all subjects as parts of an integrated whole with the Scripture at the center (II Timothy 3:16-17); 2) Provide a clear model of Biblical Christian life through its staff and Board of Directors (Matthew 22:37-40); 3) Encourage every child to begin and develop his relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20); 4) Emphasize grammar, logic, and rhetoric in all subjects; 5) Encourage every student to develop a love for learning and to achieve his academic potential; and 6) Provide an orderly atmosphere conducive to attaining these goals. Agreement with this Statement of Purpose is necessary in order for your child to enroll in Schaeffer Academy. Please indicate your agreement by signing below. I/We have read the Statement of Purpose above and agree hereto:
STATEMENT OF FAITH 1. We believe the Bible to be the only inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God; inerrant in the original manuscripts. We believe the inerrancy of Scripture embraces not only religious truth, but also the Bible's scientific, historical, and literary features. 2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3. We believe that creation was an act of God, and that the creation of man was a specific act of God, so that man did not evolve from other species. 4. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ; in His virgin birth; in His sinless life; in His miracles; in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood; in His bodily resurrection; in His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and in His future personal return in power and glory. 5. We believe that people are born with a sinful nature, and are in need of Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. 6. We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from God to convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment; to regenerate, sanctify, comfort, indwell, and enable the Christian to live a godly life. 7. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone as Lord and Savior and not as a result of works. Faith, which leads to salvation, will also be evidenced by good works. Therefore, we believe that those who repent of sin and receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again and shall be saved. 8. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of damnation. 9. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. Agreement with this Statement of Faith is not necessary to enroll your child in Schaeffer Academy. However, those who sign below indicating approval of and belief in the Statement of Faith and who pay tuition to the corporation may be made a member thereof and have voting privileges. Choosing not to sign will exclude you from membership and voting privileges. I willingly endorse and subscribe to the above Statement of Faith as found in the By-Laws of Schaeffer Academy. ---------------------------------------------------- My signature indicates my affirmation of the following: The information I have provided is completely true. I/We hereby make application for student, to enter grade at Schaeffer Academy. (rev031814)
