Distinctly Christian

Covenant Christian Ministries Academy was founded to be and is committed to being a Christian religious ministry and that it offers a lifestyle of commitment to Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord as an integral part of its evangelistic outreach. It is, therefore, each student's commitment to be a person of integrity in attitude and respect for what Covenant Christian Ministries Academy is in its calling to be a Christian educational institution.

Covenant Christian Ministries Academy is a private school, therefore, students have no vested right in the governing of the school. Attendance at CCMA is a PRIVILEGE and NOT a right and that the Academy reserves the right to require the withdrawal of a student at any time if, in the judgment of the President/CEO of Covenant Christian Ministries Academy or its administrative board, such action is deemed necessary to safeguard CCMA's ideals of scholarship or the spiritual and moral atmosphere of it as a Christian educational institution.

Calendar

The school year shall consist of at least 175 instructional days during which students and teachers engage in teaching and learning activities. The preschool students' (K3/K4) day is from 8:00 - 12:00 noon; however, as a service to the parents, afterschool care is provided until 6:00 p.m. Students in grades K5 - 12 attend school from 8:00 - 3:00 p.m. To accommodate some parents' schedules, a Before/Afterschool Program is available. Students arriving prior to 7:40 a.m. or remaining after 3:20 p.m. must report to this program. Eligibility is based on work hours of the parents. Parents who abuse this program will be required to pick up their children at the end of the academic program: 12 noon for K3/K4; 3:00 p.m. for K5 - 8th. All high school students are dismissed at the end of the regular school day.

Dress Code

All CCMA students will wear the designated school uniform unless otherwise specified by the administration for special events and/or activities. We believe there is a close relationship between appearance and performance. It is our belief that good appearance leads to good discipline, which in turn creates a positive atmosphere where learning will take place. Uniforms will also discourage competition in dress, and will help in increase the self-respect of students collectively and individually. The administration reserves the right to have jewelry removed that violates school policy.

Coats with outer emblems, logos, labels, or patches inconsistent with our Christian beliefs are prohibited.

Athletic Events - Student Attire

CCMA students are required to wear some type of uniform to all school-related functions. Please read carefully and govern yourselves accordingly. All students should wear their regular school sweater or fleece jacket as weather requires. Failure to comply will result in denied admission into the game.

Social Standards and Activities

It is the duty of CCMA to provide an atmosphere that is conducive to academic achievement and spiritual growth. Since discipline, which comes from the root word disciple, is a positive word, we believe in properly training our students to help us reach this goal. Good, sound, godly discipline provides a firm foundation for the teaching process, and helps the students to become positive role models. The following guidelines are directives for our students:

1. Students are expected to maintain high standards of courtesy, kindness, morality, and honesty.
2. Students are expected to provide good examples of leadership to their peers, as well as, to the younger students.
3. All students are expected to always show respect for those in authority.

There are three classroom rules that are expedient and must be followed by all students:

1. Receive permission before talking.
2. Receive permission before getting out of ones seat.
3. Respect the rights and property of others.
