The Corn Bible Academy Mission
Statement:
Corn Bible Academy is providing a Christ-centered
environment to help parents train their children to grow in knowledge,
in strength, in spirit, and in relation with God and others.
CORN BIBLE ACADEMY
STANDARD OF CONDUCT
Corn Bible Academy was founded upon the conviction that young
people should be privileged to gain a solid academic education
in an environment that promotes spiritual growth. We as a school
believe the Bible is the sole authority of our lives and that
spiritual growth begins with the initial act of accepting Jesus
Christ into our lives. (II Corinthian 5:17)
As a part of its basic philosophy of education, Corn Bible Academy
also recognizes:
- the
home is primarily responsible for development of Christian character
- the
church is primarily responsible for development of a Christian conscience
- the
school is responsible for building on this foundation
In order to build on this foundation,
Corn Bible Academy will provide an environment conducive to the spiritual
growth and development of you as a person. We believe a Standard of Conduct,
based upon the following Biblical authority is necessary to provide such
an environment. (I Corinthians 8:9,12-13) The lifestyle of the Christian
will endeavor to avoid a lifestyle which causes the loss of sensitivity
to the spiritual needs of the world and the loss of the Christian's physical,
mental, or spiritual well-being. (I Corinthians 9:27) I Corinthians 10:31
says, "Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the
glory of God."
The awareness of the need for spiritual
growth in the light of these principles has led Corn Bible Academy to
adopt the following standards which we believe are essential to an environment
which will best promote the spiritual growth for you as a student at CBA.
The school, therefore, expects each
student to maintain a Christian standard of courtesy, kindness, morality,
and honesty. The school further requires each student to refrain from
bullying other students (both verbal and physical), profanity, indecent
language, gambling, cheating, sexual immorality, social dancing, stealing,
the use of any type of tobacco, drugs, alcohol, and pornographic music
and materials, and from participation in unlawful, violent, or destructive
acts. We believe that the restrictions listed above are types of conduct
which are detrimental to an environment conducive to spiritual growth.
Students are expected to abide by these
standards throughout their enrollment at Corn Bible Academy. This includes
both in-term and out-of-term times - at school, home, or any other place.
Students found to be out of harmony with the standards listed may be asked
to withdraw from the privilege of being at Corn Bible Academy.
Our mission affirms that this is a joint
agreement between the school, the parent, and the student. It should be
very obvious to the parent that the school will enforce these standards.
It should also be obvious to the school that the parent enforces these
standards while you are associated with Corn Bible Academy. Our prayer
is that the guidelines we are asking you to adhere to would become your
own conviction as you build your life on God's Word.
