Statement of Moral Integrity
Students need to be taught that the Bible dictates the standards for sexual behavior. This is particularly important in a society where young people can become confused by the conflicting values reflected on TV, in movies, on the Internet, some secular music, etc.
The Bible teaches that sex is God-ordained within the covenant of marriage and is a spiritual bond between (male) husband and (female) wife (Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:4-6; Heb. 13:4; I Cor. 7:3-5). Those who are not involved in such a marriage are to live celibate lives (I Cor. 7:1, 2).
The unique roles of the male and female are clearly defined in Scripture. Romans 1:24-32 states that God recognized homosexuals, lesbians, and other deviates as perverted. Other Scriptures dealing with living Godly lifestyles include Romans 12:1,2; 1 Cor. 6:6-20; Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:3-5; 1 Thess. 4:3-8; and 1 Tim. 4:12.
TCA’s Biblical role is to work in conjunction with the home to mold students to be Christ-like. Therefore, it is required that all those involved with TCA honor God by having lifestyles that are based on these Biblical standards. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, administrators, faculty, staff, parents, students, and volunteers.
View of Education
Purpose of School: Tri-State Christian Academy is a non-profit, Christ-centered, non-denominational Christian school. TCA is an alternative choice of education that teaches Jesus Christ as the center of all learning and living and presents the way of salvation to each student. The religious training given at Tri-State Christian Academy does not stress any particular religious denomination, but emphasizes a strong Bible foundation and basic principles of Christian conduct and character. Children are taught to obey their parents, to respect their teachers and those in authority, and to appreciate our great American heritage.
Role of Parent in Christian Education: God has given the parents the responsibility to teach their children. The Christian School is a tool to help the parent in fulfilling their responsibility of education. (Deut.7:4-9)
Role of the Teacher: The Christian philosophy of education is based on Christian teachers who understand these basic principles of Christian education, who are personally committed to them, and who demonstrate effectiveness in their ability to communicate them. (Phil. 4:9)

Non-Admission/Disenrollment Based on Religious Principles
On occasion, the atmosphere or conduct within a particular home may be counter to or in opposition to the Biblical lifestyle the school teaches. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, sexual immorality, sexual orientation, or inability to support the moral principles of the school (refer to Statement of Moral Integrity). In some cases, the school reserves the right, within its sole discretion, to refuse admission of an applicant or to discontinue enrollment of a student.
