Handbook-Mission
It is the purpose of the Yuma Seventh-day Adventist Christian School to provide the student with a Christ-centered program of studies and activities that will harmoniously balance the development of the physical, mental, spiritual, and social needs of each student. Our desire is that the educational program takes place in a genuine Christian atmosphere with teachers, parents, and students who firmly believe in the value of Christian education. In support of the above mission it our goal to:
1. Provide a school climate that will encourage each student to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
2. Offer an educational program that enables students to achieve high levels of academic quality while providing a safe learning environment where:
* Basic skills of reading, communications, and mathematics can be acquired. * Critical thinking skills will be developed. * Students will be motivated to become intellectually curious.
3. Challenge students to live a life of unselfish service, in response to Christ’s unselfish gift of HIS life to mankind by providing opportunities for service to the community, country and the world.
4. Provide a school environment that emphasizes the self-worth of each student and helps him or her to develop positive social interaction skills.
5. Encourage the effective development of the student’s decision making skills and responsibility.
6 Promote a holistic philosophy of the individual in a manner that promotes spiritual, mental, social and physical health
