Twin
Falls Christian Academy was first founded and opened its doors in the
fall of 1975. Today, our accommodations include a multi-purpose building
with an auditorium and stage, a gym, classrooms for Senior High, music
rooms, a large playground, library, and several elementary classrooms.
Twin Falls Christian Academy, a ministry of Grace Baptist Church, is
a clean, modern facility with a well-trained Christian staff, dedicated
to the worship of our Lord Jesus Christ and the training of young Christians.
Ours is a traditional type of school which emphasizes sound Biblical
discipline, character training, and high standards in academics.
PURPOSE
Our school board, administration, and teachers are dedicated to the
purpose of providing the highest possible educational standards with
the following three-fold emphasis:
-
To train your child to love and respect the Word of God. Because
we believe the Bible to be the foundation stone of truth, every
child will be taught a Bible course daily by born- again Christian
teachers. The philosophy of life as taught by the Word of God will
permeate all aspects of the child’s learning and daily school
activity.
-
To
instill into your child standards for living which are noble and
pure and include, among other things: a respect for the rights and
property of others, love of country, obedience to law, self-discipline,
and the importance of the individual.
-
To give your child the finest in academic training. The growth of
the intellect is a part of education just as is the development
of character and soul.
Twin
Falls Christian Academy is primarily for those people who are interested
in training up their children in the way they should go, according to
Proverbs 22:6. It should also be the desire of each student to be trained
in the same manner (II Tim. 2:15). An important aspect of this training
is the teaching of Biblical standards of separation, discipline, behavior,
and morality.
It is an important part of education at Twin Falls Christian Academy
to teach our young people to live lives that will glorify God according
to I Cor.10:31. As Christians progress in their growth, it is vital
that their natural self-centered motivations be changed to Christ-centered
motivations (Phil. 2: 1-5). Christians need to avoid practices which
would bring any reproach upon their Savior’s name (II Cor. 5:20).
It is necessary that Christians avoid practices that would be detrimental
to their personal spiritual growth and development (II Tim. 2:22). It
is also necessary that Christians be especially aware of their influence
on others, and refrain from any practice that would be harmful to the
physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and future well-being
of another (I Cor. 8:10; Matt. 18:6; Rom. 13:8-10).
The Bible teaches that it is important that all Christians learn to
live God-honoring lives (Matt.5:16) and to be willing to lay their lives
down for their friends (John 15:13). Since this is a part of our teaching
endeavor (Col. 1:28), we will expect our students to observe the following
code:
-
Respect and support the purposes, standards, beliefs, and spirit
of Twin Falls Christian Academy (James 3:16; Matt. 12:25).
-
Refrain from the use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, and chemicals or
any similar devices that would be harmful to your health and Christian
testimony. (I Cor. 6:19,20).
-
Be supportive of our position and teaching against the harmful effects
and influences of rock music, pornography, obscene literature, and
commercial movies including television (Psalms 101:3, Psalms 1:1)
-
Maintain Christian standards in your personal appearance, use of
language, relationships at home, compliance to civil law, personal
and social morality and attendance at church (Eph. 5:1-21; Phil.
4:8)
Students
are expected to abide by these standards throughout their enrollment.
We believe that within this atmosphere of definite and positive Christian
standards, good scholastic planning, and personal interest between faculty,
students and parents, we have a fine opportunity for the development
of strong Christian character (Eph. 4:14).
