Additional Questions

1. Statement of Faith

We believe

That the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God. (II Timothy 3:16)
That there is one God eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (I John 5:5-7)
That our Lord Jesus Christ is both God and man in one person. In His Virgin birth, in His sinless life, and His miracles, in His bodily resurrection, in His Ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory He is our Redeemer. (I Corinthians 15:3, I Peter 2:21-24, John 3:16)
That God created man and all things very good, visible and invisible, by the power of His Word. (Genesis 1, 2, John 1)
That all people are, in the natural state, lost and sinful and in need of renewal by the Holy Spirit, faith in Jesus Christ, and repentance toward God. (Romans 3:21-30, Galatians 4:4-7)
That salvation is by grace through faith alone. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
That faith without works is dead. (James 2:17)
That the Christian is enabled to live a godly life by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-25)
That there is a resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved, unto the resurrection of life; and they that are lost, unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:24, 28, 29)
That there is a spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (John 17:21-23)

Given current public discussion and legal attention given to these areas, we find it necessary to present the following statement of belief on gender, marriage, and sexuality.

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person as either male or female. These two distinct complementary sexes together reflect the image and nature of God (Genesis 1:26-27). Rejection of one's biological sex is a rejection of the image of God within that person.
We believe that God created marriage to be exclusively the union of one biological man and one biological woman, and that intimate sexual activity is to occur exclusively within that union (Genesis 2:18-25; 1 Corinthians 6:18; 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4).
We believe that every person must be afforded compassion, love, kindness, respect, and dignity (Mark 12:28-31; Luke 6:31). Hateful and harassing behavior or attitudes toward any individual are to be repudiated and are not in accord with Scripture nor the beliefs of Spectrum Christian Homeschool Community.

Have you read Arise Christian Academy's Statement of Faith, including the statements on gender, marriage, and sexuality, and do you agree with and commit to abide by ACA's Statement of Faith? Yes
2. Financial Commitment

Payment plans are offered as a courtesy. Full payment must still be made even if you decide to drop a class. Arise Christian Academy plans its budget and hires teachers based on enrollment. Also, due to class sizes, dropped registrations may cause another student to miss the opportunity to sign up for a class that was full or may cause a class to be dropped because it no longer has enough students. Please consider your choices carefully before registering. If you register for a class by mistake, you have 48 hours to notify the registrar to make the change.

Do you agree that once you register for classes and make your initial tuition payment, to commit to paying for the entire year's tuition for all classes in which your child/children is/are registered, even if your child/children withdraw from the class? You may make payments according to ACA's payment plan, or you may pay your balance in full at any time. Yes
3.

Student Behavioral Expectations

Dress appropriately. Students should dress neatly, modestly, and with consideration for others. Parents should provide guidance to ensure that this happens.
Use edifying language. Students should be considerate in their speech, avoiding the use of divisive, foul, profane, and/or inappropriate language.
Show respect. Students should treat each other and all adults associated with ACA with respect.
Act responsibly. Students should come prepared for class and be where they are supposed to be at all times.
Required assignments are essential for class participation; this coursework MUST be completed before class for students to participate meaningfully in class discussions and activities.
Cooperate. During class, students will be encouraged to participate in discussions. Using electronic devices, passing notes, talking out of turn, working on other assignments, and disrupting in any other way are prohibited.
Participate with a Christ-like attitude and work as unto the Lord. Students are expected to be cheerful, willing, and, when addressed, to respond with immediate compliance.
Use electronic devices responsibly. Students should follow these guidelines regarding electronic devices.
- Electronics are for each student’s personal use; devices may not be shared. They may be used for educational purposes only (school work completion, research, note-taking) during the ACA school day.
- Cell phones may not be used during school hours except with the specific permission of the SAS or an ACA teacher. Cell phones may be left on vibrate for emergencies and parent contact only.
- The use of electronic devices to play video games, access social media, watch non-educational videos, etc., is prohibited during the school day. At the discretion of ACA staff, high school students may be permitted to use headphones for music during study hall.
- Electronic device use will be monitored. Electronic devices used for any reason other than those listed above may be taken by the SAS or ACA teacher until the end of the school day.
- ACA will not be held responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged electronic devices.
Adhere to pick-up policies. Each student must have a completed Pick-Up Plan on the website indicating that the student will (a) be picked up by a parent (or designated others) in the building, (b) be picked up by a parent (or designated others)in the parking lot, or (c) check him- or herself out to walk or drive home. For students who are being picked up, a student may not exit the building until the SAS sees the parent or designated other and releases the student. Any other arrangements must be made in writing with the SAS. Please remember, if you pick up your child more than 5 minutes after the end of his or her last class, a $3 late fee per student will be charged to your account.

As a parent of Arise Christian Academy, do you agree with the Student Behavior Expectations, and have you read and reviewed these guidelines with your child(ren)?

Yes
4. Academic Integrity Policy

Arise Christian Academy students are expected to demonstrate integrity, honesty, fairness, and independent critical thinking in the completion of their academic work, including any homework assignment, essay, research paper, artwork, or any other academic work. Students are expected to take responsibility for their actions and for the resulting consequences. Academic misconduct includes any behavior that is intended to give a student an unfair advantage on any assignment and includes the following:

Use of AI/Chat GPT tools — using AI-based tools, such as Chat GPT, Grammarly, etc., for generating content that is submitted for academic credit. All submitted work must be the result of the student's own effort. ACA teachers, staff, and OC members reserve the right to use AI detection tools and other methods to identify the use of AI-generated content in student submissions.
Plagiarism — using someone else's ideas or words and passing them off as one's own without proper citation
Collusion — contributing to the academic misconduct of another student, i.e. collaborating with another student when the teacher expects individual work, allowing another student to copy and submit one's own work, etc.
Cheating — gaining an advantage on an assignment or test by any other prohibited method, for example, using an electronic device to find answers, sharing answers with another student, etc.

If a student is caught engaging in academic dishonesty, the following will occur:

The student will earn a zero for the assignment with no chance of making up the assignment.
The teacher will explain to the student his or her offense and provide evidence where appropriate. If there are additional consequences, these will be explained to the student as well.
The teacher will communicate with the student's parent and inform the Oversight Committee of the student's offense and consequences.
If a teacher suspects academic dishonesty, he or she may communicate with the Oversight Committee for support.

Maintaining academic integrity and fostering independent learning are core values of Arise Christian Academy. This Academic Integrity Policy is designed to support these values and ensure that all students are assessed on their own abilities and efforts.

As a parent of Arise Christian Academy, do you agree with the ACA Academic Integrity Policy, and have you read and reviewed these guidelines with your child(ren)? Yes
No
5. Policy on Use of ACA-Issued Grades

Consequently, to preserve ACA's academic integrity and for overall accountability, ACA-teacher-given grades rather than revised grades should be reported on a student's transcript for any ACA class. Additionally, if significant changes have been made to the class's assignments/requirements, this should be noted on the student's transcript.

Do you agree with ACA's Policy on Use of ACA-Issued Grades, and have you read and reviewed this policy with your child(ren)? Yes
No
