San Antonio Christian School

San Antonio Christian School is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity whose mission is to partner with families to provide students a Christ-centered education while fostering a life of faith and service. The School follows the Carver Model of corporate governance for nonprofit organizations. The School operates in accordance with its bylaws and decision making is governed by school policies. The day to day operations of the school are managed by the Superintendent and Upper and Lower School Principals. The Board of Directors is comprised of parent volunteers that are tasked with policy development and oversight including: Establish and evaluate the vision and mission of the School Establish the policies for operating the School Approve an annual operating budget and to determine tuition and fees Hire and review the performance of the Superintendent Establish, curtail, eliminate, or add grades to the School Approve contracts or financial obligations This form of governance is different from many organizations in that it provides a check and balance of authority within the school. When addressing any problems, questions or issues, we follow the Matthew 18 principle which is to meet with the teacher first, if the problem is not resolved, then meet with the principal, if the problem is not resolved, meet with the Superintendent. If the matter cannot be resolved at the Superintendent level and violates school policy, the family may appeal the decision to the Board of Directors. We believe that God is sovereign and the source of all truth. He has revealed Himself to man through the Bible, through Jesus and through His creation. Parents have the God given responsibility to train their children in a manner that develops Godly character. SACS aspires to be the Christ-centered, private school of choice in the San Antonio area providing an excellent value in pre-kinder to 12th grade Christian education, a secure environment, and a sustaining ministry to generations of faithful graduates to the glory of God.
