Scripture Memory
All students are required to memorize portions of Scripture each month.
Christian Americanism
Christian Americanism places emphasis upon the greatness of America’s heritage and the sacrifices of her heroes. America’s Constitution guarantees liberties to educate to preserve freedom. We unashamedly teach the Biblical doctrines of self-discipline, respect for those in authority, obedience to law, their natural outgrowth, and love for flag and country. All students and parents are required to memorize these pledges and to stand and recite them at the appropriate times.
- Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. - Pledge of Allegiance to the Christian Flag:
I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior for Whose kingdom it stands, one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again, with life and liberty for all who believe. - Pledge of Allegiance to the Bible:
I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God’s Holy Word. I will make it a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I will hide its word in my heart that I might not sin against God.
Christian Leadership Training
- Daily Devotions: Each day begins with prayer and devotion where Biblical principles are taught and discussed.
- Chapel: Chapel sessions are held the first Wednesday of every month, during which the student identifies his education with the ministry of the church. Invited local pastors and staff members preach the Word of God.
- Special Meetings: During the fall and again during the spring, revivals and evangelistic meetings may be held, at which attendance is required.
- Bible: Students must have a King James Version Bibleat school everyday! It is best to have one Bible that can be left at school.

Attendance Requirements

- Absence for reasons other than for sickness and emergency will be excused only if arrangements are made in advance with the teacher and the student is sufficiently advanced in his work.
- Excessive absences will inhibit the student’s progress. Absences, if deemed unnecessary by the Administration, may be considered unexcused. Unexcused absences will result in a loss of student privileges, probation, or suspension.When a student is absent or tardy, it is necessary for them to have a written excuse, signed by the parent, to be permitted to go back to class.

A student must be in school all day on the day of an after-school activity to attend or participate in that activity. The only exceptions would be a doctor’s or dentist’s appointment and of course any emergency. If a student is tardy, they must be at school by 9:00 A.M. to be able to participate.

Reasons for Probation:
- Continued deliberate disobedience.

Parents will be given the opportunity to share relevant information affecting the decision at any point in the probation procedures.
Suspension

- The school administration makes the final decision on the dismissal of any student from school.
- The administration may expel a student from school for misconduct when other means of correction fail to bring about proper conduct.

Child Abuse Allegations
All Oklahoma Teachers, Teachers Assistants, Principals, and Administrators are MANDATORY REPORTERS of child abuse. They must, according to Oklahoma State Law, report all allegations of child abuse. As previously mentioned, we don’t believe everything we hear; however, in these instances Teachers are still required to report the allegations, even if the Teacher does not believe a child’s allegation. A Teacher can and will be jailed and / or fined for failing to report alleged child abuse.
Withdrawal
- No student will be considered withdrawn until a Withdrawal Form has been requested from the office, filled out, and returned.
- Failure to complete and return this form will result in more monthly charges being added to your account.
