Mission/Core Values

	Anchored Christian Academy desires to partner with parents in the education of their children through strong academics and the teaching of Biblical truths while creating a community where students thrive, feel safe and form healthy relationships. Hebrews 6:19 ESV “We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain.”

Our Core Values are as follows:          

1. **Faith**: Belief in God and adherence to Christian teachings. Hebrews 11:6 NIV

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”

2. **Integrity**: Upholding moral and ethical standards based on Biblical principles. Proverbs 10:9 NIV“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.” Or…..Proverbs 11:3 NIV “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.”

3. **Community**: Fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where students, staff, and families feel connected. Romans 12:5 NIV “so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. “

4. **Service**: Encouraging students to serve others and make positive contributions to their communities.

Ephesians 2:10 NIV “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

5. **Excellence**: Striving for high academic standards and personal growth, reflecting God's gifts and potential in each individual. 1 Corinthians 10:31 NIV

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

6. **Respect**: Valuing each person as inherently worthy, created in the image of God.1 Peter 2:17 NIV “Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.”

7. **Stewardship**: Responsibly managing resources and talents to honor God and benefit others. 1 Corinthians 4:2 NIV “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”

These core values guide decision-making, curriculum development, and interactions within the school community, aiming to integrate faith with learning and personal development.
