Enduring Purpose
SCA's Enduring Purpose is to assist parents in educating their children with a biblical worldview, intentionally providing a foundation upon which the next generation can build Christ-like character, as well as, discover God's plan for their lives.
Vision
Our Vision is to operate a primary and secondary school that provides a superior education, while training students to discern and obey the will of God.
Mission Statement
Shrewsbury Christian Academy's mission is to enter into a joint venture with those in the local community who desire to prepare children with a biblically-based education. This education will reveal God's ultimate plan for his creation, help the students discover their place, and purpose in it, while encouraging them to passionately pursue these to praise and glory of Jesus Christ.
Statement of Faith
- We believe in the divine inspiration, infallibility, and the final authority of the Bible as the Word of God.
- We believe in the Triune God, eternally existent as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the uniqueness of man, by virtue of his special creation in God's image and his responsibility to understand,manage and care for the world to the glory of God.
- We believe in Jesus Christ as true man and true God; in His unique Deity as the incarnate, virgin-born Son of God.
- We believe in the representative and substitutionary death of our Jesus Christ as the necessary atonement for our sins.
- We believe in the Holy Spirit, through Whom we come to faith in Christ and Who enables us daily to grow in grace.
- We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, and His personal return.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved and the everlasting punishment of the lost.
Philosophy
What is a Christian School?
It is a non-public school which gives instruction in all subjects normally taught in private and public schools, and which seeks at all times to give a central place to the Bible and Christian truth.
Why have a Christian School?
The Word of God provides our answer:
- "And these words which I command you this day shall be upon your hearts and you shall teach them diligently to your children." Deuteronomy 6:6,7
- "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
A Christian school exists so that a child may be led into a close relationship with God through a sound educational program. Education must do more than prepare us for life on this earth; it must teach us to see God's Word and Will in all things.
Why is a Christian School unique?
- The power of God in the Holy Spirit through the Word is the force which enables it to accomplish its purpose.
- A special student-teacher relationship exists. The Christian educator sees each child as someone for whom Christ died.
All phases of learning are directed toward a single goal: Life in Christ.
