SCHOOL ORGANIZATION Church Membership
Church membership and Christian virtues are lifetime patterns which are developed early in a child, and the development of those patterns are the primary responsibility of the parents. Attendance at a Christian school is intended to reinforce patterns already established by the parents. Initial enrollment requires prior evidence from at least one parent of the applying student that: • they believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant and authoritative Word of God • they personally trust in Jesus Christ as the only way of salvation • their personal lives exemplify this faith • they are faithful members of a local evangelical church This evidence shall be obtained through: • Written parental responses on the student application • Signature on the Statement of Faith in the application • Completion of a school-provided reference form by the pastor of their church • A personal interview with the principal Re-enrollment requires that regular church membership be maintained, with confirmation made each year through the re-enrollment process. Church attendance for both parent(s) and children should be regular, and the family should be active participants in the life of their church. Only in this way can the school assist a family. If a church does not have formal membership, the parent(s) are expected to enter into whatever formal relationship is established by the leadership of their church, attend regular services and be active participants in the life of their church. Debts/Tuition The school has financial responsibilities to faculty, staff and vendors. It is assumed that Christian schooling is a high priority for all families who have chosen to be enrolled in HCA. The student and parents are responsible for all debts incurred at Heritage Christian Academy. If parents anticipate difficulty making a tuition payment at any time, it is their responsibility to inform the school in advance and to keep the school updated on the status of forthcoming payment. HCA utilizes Blackbaud for tuition management. We require all payment plans to be set up through Blackbaud. The tuition charged by HCA may be paid in one of the following ways: 1. Prepaid in full through Blackbaud on or before August 15 th (3% discount)
