The purpose of the PSP is to encourage Christian families in maintaining a Christ-­‐
centered, biblically focused home education, based on Deuteronomy 6:5-­‐9, while offering a wide array of academic, athletic, spiritual, and social opportunities for grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. The PSP operates under the provision of the California Education Code Section 58222, falling under the Private School Affidavit of Rincon Valley Christian School, which is filed annually each October. SRBC Position on Educational Choice God ordained the local church to accomplish His purposes and it is designed to work in concert with the family. The family is to be the primary means of instruction, discipline, and to be the primary teachers of God’s Word to their children (Psalm 78:5-­‐7). Scripture clearly states that fathers are to bring up their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:5). The family is where the Word of God should be discussed, taught, learned and memorized (Deut. 6:6-­‐9). Parents are the primary ministers to their children. The local church should be seen as a supplement to assisting parents in this important role and responsibility. We recognize that there are differing views regarding educational choices (public school, Christian school, PSP, home school, etc.) within various families among the church. Parents are to prayerfully consider the best educational option for each child and follow the Lord’s leading. SRBC supports and respects each of these choices without denigrating or biasing our ministry towards one philosophy or choice. Division among believers based on educational choices is not acceptable as Romans 15:10 states, “You then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.” SRBC Educational Ministry Vision Statement SRBC offers two alternatives to families for the education of their children. Both are ministries of the church, have an outreach to the community of Santa Rosa, and operate under the authority of SRBC’s Official Board with delegated oversight by the Rincon Valley Christian School (RVCS). The educational ministries that are approved by the Official Board include both a “day school” program and a Private Satellite Program (PSP). Both of these programs are intended to operate under RVCS with full cooperation and mutual support from the faculty and families involved in either program. It is expected that there will be overlap of the programs where it is appropriate in accomplishing the educational and Christian character goals of the ministries. While the goal of both programs is the education of the student, it is expected that there will be different educational pathways associated with each. All ministries of SRBC are to strive to bring glory to God in excellence, integrity, and unity. Revised July 2014 3 Goals 1. To build a strong moral foundation for our children based on scriptural principles and a Christian worldview. 2. To bring up our children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. 3. To impart Godly values to our children through example and academic study. Values 1. Commitment to educational philosophy which is not after the traditions of men or the principals of this world, but after Christ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Col. 2:8) 2. Belief that God established the institution of marriage in order to raise Godly offspring. (Mal 2:15) 3. Conviction that God has called Christian parents to fulfill their obligation in raising and training their children for the glory of God. (Deut. 5:2 and 6:5-­‐9, Psalm 78:3-­‐8, 2 Tim 1:5)) 4. Recognition that parents are accountable to God for the instruction and discipline of their own children. (Eph. 6:5, Titus 2:5-­‐5) 5. Realization that Christian families must be above reproach in word and deed as a testimony for the Lord, maintaining a positive reputation with SRBC, RVCS and the community.

Revised July 2014 8 RVCS Participation PSP students participating in any on campus or school sponsored activity must follow the day school’s code of conduct and dress code described in the current year RVCS Student Handbook, available on the website at rinconvalleychristian.org. On campus class and sports concerns should be directly communicated to the on campus teacher or coach. Please refer to the RVCS Student Handbook for specific on-­‐campus procedures. Class Options RVCS PSP students may attend classes at the RVCS day school campus on a space available basis and upon approval of the RVCS administration. Requests for classes (form available on the PSP website) at the day campus should be submitted through the day school office. Students will be required to comply with all school rules of conduct and dress. Sports Options RVCS PSP students have the privilege of trying out for RVCS sports teams. Placement on a team is not guaranteed. While participating on a RVCS sports team, students must pay the associated sports fees and comply with all RVCS rules of conduct and dress. Parents are expected to help with any requested parent participation (driving, ticket sales, snack bar); this does not count towards PSP parent participation. Additionally, RVCS participates in high school sports under the auspices of the North Coast Section (NCS) of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), the state governing body for high school sports. Under NCS rules, all student athletes are required to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA while playing, with no F’s in any class, and PSP athletes are required to have a minimum of four outside graded subjects (other than a parent) per quarter of eligibility. The intent behind these requirements is objective grading and academic stability. Please see the PSP Secondary Manual for examples of outside graded classes, which may include Campus Day, SRJC, Potter's School, other co-­‐op classes, Work Experience, and music lessons. RVCS Activities Participation in various RVCS activities is usually open to PSP students. Full commitment to involvement and associated fees is mandatory prior to signing up for the activity. PSP members will approach all activities with the day school with an attitude of unity and full participation. RVCS Fundraisers PSP families are encouraged to participate in the major day school fundraisers in support of school wide technology upgrades, art and athletic programs, and tuition assistance.
