Rationale
Olds Koinonia Christian School exists to assist Christian parents in the
fulfillment of their Biblical mandate to "train a child in the way he should go"
(Proverbs 22:6). This goal cannot be accomplished by the School alone. However,
it can be done if there is harmony between the goals of the School and those of
the home. It is not the goal of the School to replace the home or to solve
academic or behavioral problems caused by deficiencies in the home.
Policy
1. At least one parent or guardian must be a born again Christian and in full
agreement with the Statement of Faith. Believing parents must give indication
that they are actively practicing their Christian confession in the home through
such means as family devotions, prayer, and Bible study. At least one parent
must accept all parts of the Parents' Commitment.
2. If one parent is an unbeliever, he or she must be supportive of the
philosophy and standards of the school as outlined in all but the first four
points of the Parents' Commitment and be willing for his or her children to be taught
Biblical principles in accordance with the Statement of Faith.
3. It should be determined, if possible, that the church attended by the
applicant is in agreement with the School's Statement of Faith. A Pastor's
Report from the church the family has been attending will be required as a part

Kindergarten, and those who will be six years old by September 30 may be

whose children are currently enrolled and to the children of staff members
employed by the School.
9. The Board may require an interview of a school family prior to re-enrollment
of their children.
