The basis of Scott City Christian School shall be the Word of God. It will structure itself on the teachings of Christ and not on the doctrines of any particular denomination. Furthermore, it will not discourage or discriminate against the doctrines or members of any denomination which embraces the Statement of Faith as follows. 

 

Each member of the Board and each member of the staff of SCCS having accepted Jesus Christ as personal Savior shall subscribe annually in writing to the following Statement of Faith: 

 

1. I believe the Bible is the Spirit-inspired and wholly authoritative Word of God. (II Tim 3:16) 

 

2. I believe that there is one God who is eternally existent in the three persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (I John 5:4-7) 

 

3. I believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary death on the cross, in His shed blood for the remission of sin, in His bodily resurrection from the dead, in His Ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Jn 10:30, Lk 1:34-35, Heb 7:26, Acts 2:22, II Cor 5:21, I Jn 1:7, I Cor 15:4, Acts 2:33, Lk 21:27) 

 

4. I believe that God created the heavens and the earth, light and darkness, the sky and waters, the sea and land, vegetation according to its various kinds, the day and night, the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, the creatures of the earth according to their kinds, and man in His image. (Gen 1:1-27) 

 

5. I believe that man was created good and upright, and that by voluntary transgression fell and thereby incurred physical and spiritual death, which is separation from God the Father. 

(Gen 1:26, 27; 2:17; 3:6; Rom 5:12-19) 

 

6. I believe that man’s salvation is received through repentance for sin and faith in Jesus Christ, shown by a life that is growing in holiness. (Lk 13:3, Rom 10:9, II Cor 7:1) 

 

7. I believe in leading a life that is sanctified by the power of the Holy Spirit where sanctification is the act of separation from that which is evil and being dedicated unto God. 

(Rom 8:13, 12:1-2) 

 

8. I believe in the resurrection of both the saved and lost. The saved will enter into the resurrection of life with the Father according to Christ’s work, and the lost into the resurrection of the damned according to their own works. (Jn 5:24, 28-29) 

 

9. I believe in the spiritual unity of the Body of Christ, that includes all those that are trusting Christ for their salvation and leading a sanctified life. (Jn 17:21-23)

Philosophy 

 

Purposes and objectives of SCCS are as follows: 

 

A. SCCS believes that the Bible clearly teaches submission to authority. Therefore, we expect a willing spirit of cooperation from student and parents. 

 

B. To provide for the students and faculty a classroom environment of excellence commensurate with an institution having ultimate objectives which are Christ-centered, truly patriotic, and in obedience to God’s Word... 

 

C. To teach all subjects in a manner to create in each student an awareness of God’s supreme authority over all creation. 

 

D. To present the Bible, God’s Word, as the only reliable and true revelation of God’s nature and His redeeming purpose and will for mankind. 

 

E. To teach that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came to earth to die for our sins. 

 

F. To train and prepare youth to become bold, Christian witnesses and to seek, and make, worthy contributions to the cause of Christ in home, church, and community. 

 

G. To help each student aspire to positions of responsibility in full or part-time Christian service, wherever those call for service may be. 

 

H. It shall be the order of each day at school, Board, or Committee meetings to begin with prayer and Scripture reading. 

 

I. Allegiance to, respect and appreciation for our country and its symbol, the American flag, shall be taught and practiced at SCCS. 

 

J. The American and Christian flags will be properly and prominently displayed in all classrooms. 

 

The Board reserves the right to make the final decision in matters of judgment.

Admission Standards 

 

1. Scott City Christian School is open to all students and parents regardless of color, race or national origin who are interested in securing and supporting Christian Education. SCCS desires to be an Extension of the Christian home; therefore, school and home must be responsible to one another.

Dress Code 

 

To apply to our attire the Biblical principle that we should not let the world “squeeze us into its mold,” the dress code follows three main points: The dress must be modest, honoring to God, appropriate for the occasion, neat, and clean. (I John 2:15-16) 

 

 

 

Disciplinary Policy 

 

It is our prayer that discipline will not be a problem in our school. We desire SCCS students to want to please, stay within the rules, and respect their peers and teachers. 

 

Students are expected to maintain a safe, pleasant, and cooperative working environment in the classroom, and to participate in all school activities in a friendly and helpful manner. They are 

also expected to abide by the rules of good sportsmanship during recess, gym, and other activities. When a student chooses to deviate from the required behavioral norms, he or she will be subject to disciplinary action. 

 

It is the goal of the faculty and administrator to exercise discipline in a fair, godly, and consistent manner. The goal of all Biblical discipline is repentance and restoration on the part of the offender. As such, we will strive to match the discipline to the offense committed. We will use all tools at our disposal in a graduated, measured fashion. These include gently correcting and rebuking the student, positive and negative reinforcement, In School Suspension (ISS), Outside School Suspension (OSS), and the rod of correction (to be administered by the parent). In all matters of discipline, the faculty and administration will proactively pursue the parents' involvement and exercise timely, consistent communication. We are in the business of shaping the characters and habits of our students for usefulness to the Lord. We seek to serve the Lord, our students, and their parents in this vital educational function.
