Fresno Christian Schools

Fresno Christian Schools is committed to excellence in academic achievement, quality of instruction, and the education of the total person under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. This involves meeting the student's spiritual, moral, academic, physical, and social needs, and is accomplished through its stated mission: to equip young people for life and service for Jesus Christ through biblical foundations, Christ-like character development, and academic preparation, in partnership with the home and local church. Since individual commitment to Christ is voluntary in nature, students at Fresno Christian Schools are confronted with the person of Jesus Christ and invited to become acquainted with biblical principles basic to the development of a Christian lifestyle. Students are encouraged to make a personal commitment to Christ, to learn the meaning of that commitment, and to demonstrate discipleship in serving God and others. The school is designed to assist in this process as the student pursues academic and spiritual growth. The highest pattern for Christian conduct is found in conforming to the image of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29). We strive to teach all students with all possible wisdom, seeking to bring each one into God's presence as a mature individual, conformed to Christ's image and in union with Him (Colossians 1:28). With this goal in mind, each student, by virtue of enrollment, is expected to adhere to the school's stated behavioral expectations and to comply with all rules of the Student Handbook. Students of Fresno Christian Schools shall not be engaged in any immoral, unethical, or illegal activities or any other activities that may have a harmful effect on the offending student, other students, the school, the community, or the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. This expectation applies during school hours and at on-campus and off-campus school-sponsored events, and extends to a student's personal time as well. Students are expected to maintain a high standard of conduct during school hours and at all school functions, submitting to the authority of all teachers, staff, and authorized personnel. Students will respect the physical and psychological well being of others; behavior that exploits others, students or adults, will not be tolerated. Failure to maintain and respect this standard may lead to the offending student entering into a process of restorative discipline and/or punitive discipline, with the goal of the student becoming more conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Additionally, while away from campus on school-sponsored functions, if any student is found to be in violation of any school policy, the parent/guardian will be notified. Appropriate disciplinary action will be decided upon by school administration, and may include the student's immediate removal from the function at the parent/guardian's expense.
