Living Grace Christian School -Mission Vision Statement

Because the mission of Living Grace Christian School is to partner with parents to raise up champions of God and because we believe that parents have been ordained by God as their children’s primary teacher, we work hard to involve parents in their children’s education. Specifically, we hold to the following values:

Values

1. In working with parents, we seek to have an attitude of service. As we partner with parents in the training and teaching of their children, we do so with a sincere and sensitive focus to reasonably do what we can to help the parents in the educational process. (Phil. 2:5-7; Gal. 5:13-15; 1 Pet. 4:7-11; Matt. 20:20-28; Eph. 4:11-13)

2. We aim to communicate with receptivity, accessibility, and openness. Our posture is to be one which invites parents to communicate with us. We are committed to the principle of speaking the truth in love. Regular interaction, both written and oral, with parents is a priority in helping our students to succeed. (Matt. 18:15-20; John 1:14; 1 Cor. 13; Prov. 22:11; 1 Tim. 3:1-3; 1 Tim. 4:12; Titus 1:7-8; Titus 2:6-8; Prov. 16:13, 21, 23, 24, 28, 32; Col. 3:12-17; Col. 4:5-6; Eph. 4:14-16)

3. We view parents as participants in the educational process. Likewise, we aim to encourage parents to see themselves as participants in their children’s home learning, in volunteer school service, and in attending team meetings and school functions. (Deut. 6:4-9; Eph. 6:4; Prov. 22:6; Ps. 78:1-8).

4. We seek to foster an environment clearly supportive of parents. Both for teachers and for administrative staff, we view parents as a priority even amid our busy schedules and workload. Parents are major partners in the Lord’s ministry at Living Grace Christian School. When parents visit the school, they should be greeted warmly by us, feel welcomed by us, and leave us having been served and blessed by us.

5. We seek to encourage parent participation in the school setting through a proactive action plan. We aggressively seek parents’ assistance as volunteers and actively promote parental participation and attendance at both special events and team meetings.
