INTRODUCTION AND PHILOSOPHY

INTRODUCTION

This handbook was written and adopted by the administration and Board of Trustees of Arlington Christian School. The entire document is considered official Board Policy.

ACS is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of responsible Christian men and women whose function is to set policy for the operation of the school. The administration of the school is assigned to a Head of School, who oversees the total school program. An administrative team works under the Head of School's direction to ensure the smooth operation of the school's various programs. Questions and other concerns should be directed to administrators.

As a private Christian school, Arlington Christian School reserves the right to deny admission to any student. Further, Arlington Christian School reserves the right to ask any student to leave at any time for any reason when the administrator believes it is in the best interest of the school; this also includes the right to deny re-enrollment for the next school year.

MISSION

The mission of Arlington Christian School is to:

Help children grow as Jesus did “in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.”

FOR STUDENT INFORMATION

Arlington is committed to:

  • The development of each child's unique abilities.
  • Honoring God the Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit by striving to have the message and principles of the Bible permeate our daily routine.
  • Guiding each student toward physical, academic, social, emotional and spiritual maturity.
  • A broad curriculum with a college preparatory emphasis.
  • An appreciation for our spiritual, cultural and democratic heritage.
  • Quality Education in a Christian Environment.

 

The philosophy of Arlington Christian School demands that the faculty members approach their students with wisdom, patience, and consideration, viewing themselves as involved in a spiritual ministry, as well as in educational instruction. These responsibilities are facilitated as administrators seek to promote conditions in which the faculty can function with freedom in a responsible pursuit of truth and professional competence.

ACADEMIC AND CO-CURRICULAR POLICIES

INTRODUCTION

All students completing the Arlington Christian School curriculum will have the skills of effective oral and written communication in English and the basic skills of Social Science, Science, and Mathematics.

It is imperative that students be in regular attendance and not tardy to class. Class interruptions due to other school activities are avoided as much as possible. Students involved in activities that require them to be absent from class must accept the responsibility for the content and requirements of that class.

Academic grades are designed to accurately and exclusively represent the students' academic progress. Conduct, attitude, promptness to class and other qualities are deemed important, but are separately measured and reported.

 

LOWER SCHOOL

An elementary student will be retained upon teacher's recommendation (or parent request). This recommendation may be based on: below grade level performance, poor academic performance, and/or for maturity reasons.

 

MIDDLE SCHOOL

Students in grades 6, 7 and 8 pass classes by attaining a cumulative (yearly) average of 70 in their subjects. In addition, to be promoted, a yearly average of 70 must be earned in three of four core subjects: Mathematics, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies.

 

HIGH SCHOOL

Students in grades 9 through 12 accumulate credit on a semester basis.
