Statement of Faith

We believe that the Bible, inerrant as originally given, was verbally inspired by God, and is a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and constitutes the Divine rule of Christian faith and practice. (Hebrews 1:1-2, II Timothy 3:15-17)
We believe there is one true God who is infinitely perfect, the Creator, Preserver and Governor of all things, and who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Mark 12:32, Matthew 3:16-17, Matthew 28:19-20)
We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe on Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Father, the majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will visibly come again in power and glory to receive His own. (Mark 8:38; Luke 1:26-33; John 1:1-14; Acts 17:30-31; Galatians 4:4; Philippians 2:5-8; I Timothy 2:5)
We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, empower the believer, and convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. (John 14:26; John 16:8-9; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 2:13)
We believe that God created man in His image, and by a direct act, but man, by his disobedience fell, incurring both physical and spiritual death. All men are born with a sinful nature, are separated from God, and can only be saved through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Genesis 2:7; Ecclesiastes 7:29; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12; II Corinthians 5:10; Ephesians 2:8-9)

PARENT’S STATEMENT

(2 copies – sign, return one copy and keep one copy)

It is my understanding that the current registration fee must accompany the school application and all other fees must be paid by the dates set by the Dayspring Christian Academy Board of Directors.

If my child voluntarily withdraws or is requested to withdraw by the school, it is understood and accepted that no refund of the registration fee, textbook payment, or tuition will be made.

I understand that if I choose the monthly payment option for tuition, the first payment is due on or before August 1st. I understand that the tuition does not meet all school
expenses and that I am expected to participate in fundraising events to subsidize these costs. I understand that my child’s report card or any other school records will not be released or transferred unless my school account is paid in full.

I understand that DayspringChristianAcademy has full discretion for the grade placement of my child. I also understand that all placements will involve parental consultation.

I authorize Dayspring to employ such discipline as it deems wise and expedient for the training of my child.

I understand that my child will be attending Dayspring on a probationary basis for one school term however; I understand the Academy reserves the right to dismiss any child at any time who fails to comply with the established regulations and discipline or whose financial obligations remain unpaid.

I grant permission for my child to take part in all school activities, including sports and school-sponsored trips away from the school premises.

I further agree to hold DayspringChristianAcademy and its agents harmless of any liability to to my child or any guardian or parent thereof because of any injury or alleged injury to my child. Should legal action be taken for any reason against the school or any employee or agent thereof on my child’s behalf, and the school or its agent not be found at fault, I agree to pay the attorney’s fees, court fees, damages or other costs that the school or its agents should incur to defend itself against such action.

I understand that as a requirement for acceptance into Dayspring that I must commit to attend and have my child attend a local church on a regular basis.

I agree for my child to be taught the Bible and God’s plan of salvation as revealed throughout the Bible; all who repent, and believe and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, are saved through His atoning blood.

I agree that participation is needed in lending practical help and prayer support in a mutual effort to train my child. Because of this, I will attend parent-teacher meetings and planned parent-teacher conferences, unless providentially hindered.

I agree to abide by and support the standards, purpose, Statement of Faith, philosophy and all regulations of DayspringChristianAcademyon behalf of the applicant.

I have read and understand the terms stated above and agree thereto.
