Core Values
Missions & Community Service
-
We are an educational ministry whose primary core value is to share the word of God and teach our students to do so and to serve one another, the community, and those within the community. Discipleship training is used school-wide to challenge our staff and students to develop projects that help serve our community and others around them.
Worship
-
Understanding that God is worthy of worship in everything we do is an essential part of what SDCA is about. We are preparing all of our students to be lifetime worshippers, using all of their gifts to glorify God. We believe worship is one of the most important things we can teach students because it is a one on one connection with the Father.
Christian Community
-
Creating a "church family” community through missions, trips, retreats, clubs, small groups, Bible classes, and discipleship, we will teach God’s truth through mentor and peer relationships.
Safe Learning Environment
-
We will create a safe, healthy, inclusive, and loving environment through biblical affirmation, advocacy, and structure. Early academics is the foundation for preparing students for a lifetime of success.
Customer Service
-
Acknowledging that we are a business and that families and their children are our customers, we will do everything we can to serve them better without compromising biblical and professional ethics.
