MISSION STATEMENT

            James Valley Christian School provides a K-12 state-accredited educational program that endeavors to provide a balanced education based on strong academic and spiritual standards.  Our goal is to help students develop spiritual depth, academic excellence and moral integrity.

            Our curriculum stresses the development of character, self-control and personal responsibility based upon Christian values.  Christian principles are woven throughout the academic lessons taught at James Valley Christian School, providing focus and direction for students as they develop systems which will remain constant in a rapidly changing world.

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSE

            James Valley Christian School exists to provide a well-rounded education for Christian young people, regardless of race.  Our purpose is to provide academic instruction, spiritual guidance, and opportunities for active student participation.

            Spiritually, James Valley Christian School seeks to guide young people in their Christian lives.  We believe that in order to reach the total individual, we must go beyond academic instruction.  We must teach young people the Biblical principles that make life worth living.  We want to see each young person make a personal acceptance of and commitment to Jesus Christ.  Then we want to help him make that commitment practical in his life.

            Academically, James Valley Christian School seeks to help the individual student realize his potential.  We endeavor to maintain a close relationship between the student and the teacher.  Our purpose is not only to see each student acquire the basic knowledge that makes up an education, but also to help that student apply knowledge to his everyday life.  We purpose to help each student develop skills that will enable him to succeed in college or in the vocation of his choice.

            James Valley Christian School also seeks to provide opportunities for each student to participate in activities of his choice.  We encourage young people to participate in musical groups, speech activities, and athletic contests.  We believe that these experiences help develop talents and interests that will be useful in the future.

LIFESTYLE GUIDELINES

            We believe that our students and families lifestyle should reflect a Christian testimony.  Practices not conducive to Christian growth should be avoided.   These include the following but this list is not exhaustive:  dishonesty, dancing, gambling, reading immoral and obscene literature, viewing unwholesome TV programs or movies or performances and listening to distasteful music
