Parent's Commitment

OUR MISSION: The purpose of Olds Koinonia Christian School is to assist the Christian family in co-operation with the local church in training their children intellectually, physically, socially and spiritually toward maturity and responsible independence.

Rationale:  The effectiveness of the school will be strongly influenced by the dedication and spiritual maturity of the parents whose children are enrolled.  It is therefore essential that a certain level of commitment be given by each parent before enrolling their children.

Policy:

At least one parent must agree with all thirteen of the following points. A spouse who cannot support all thirteen points must at least agree with and be supportive of points six through thirteen.

1. I HAVE received the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour.

2. I AM committed to active involvement in a local Christian church.

3. I ACKNOWLEDGE that the Bible places primary responsibility on parents, especially fathers, for the education of their children, and I am requesting this school to assist me in this God-given responsibility.

4. I HAVE read and fully accept the Koinonia Schools' Statement of Faith.

5. I COMMIT to pray regularly for the school, its Board and its Staff and to teach my children to pray for their teacher and their class.

6. I SUPPORT the mission statement of Olds Koinonia Christian School and will uphold its principles outside of the school as well as in the school.

7. I DIRECT the school to employ such discipline as outlined in the Olds Koinonia Christian School Discipline Policy.

8. I WILL immediately seek to resolve misunderstandings privately with the person(s) involved in accordance with the principles of Matthew 18 (i.e. Faculty, Staff, Board members, other parents).

9. I ACCEPT that the school reserves the right to dismiss any child who fails to comply with the established regulations and discipline; or whose family's obligations to the school are not met.

11. I PLEDGE to pay my financial obligations to the school on or before the due date.
