School Profile
History and Mission - Established in 1983, North Rome Christian School is a place where Christian families from over 40 churches work together in the training of their children. An interdenominational parent-owned school, NRCS seeks to reinforce the beliefs and values taught in the home and the church. The school presently has an enrollment of about 165 students. Approximately 55 students are enrolled in grades 7-12 with 110 students in the elementary grades. The mission of the North Rome Christian School is to reinforce Christian family values and provide outstanding educational programs that prepare students to excel academically and motivate them to develop a Christian lifestyle that results in service to God and mankind.
Organization and Administration - The North Rome Christian School is owned and operated by the North Rome Christian School Association, a nonprofit corporation. The duties of the corporation are to elect members to the Board of Directors and approve the annual budget. The Board is selected from among qualified members of the program of the Association in accordance with the Corporation's Constitution. The ultimate authority for governing and operating the school is the Board of Directors.
Purpose - The primary purpose of our school is to train the student in the Christian way of life and to give the student a good general education in the light of the principles of God's Word.
The goal of North Rome Christian School is to help students to develop into whole persons having the characteristics modeled by Jesus Christ, who grew in wisdom, in stature, in favor with God and in favor with man (Luke 2:52).
Philosophy - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 9:10) and all knowledge has its foundation in the ultimate standard of truth, the Bible.
Children are an inheritance from the Lord (Psalm 127:3), and actually belong to God, as do all good things that God gives His people. Children are a trust placed in the parent's care to bring up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).
God as Creator and Sustainer of this universe created man in His own image. But because of Adam's disobedience, man inherited a sinful nature, and when left to himself, he will not naturally do what is right.
Children, therefore, need to be taught. We know what a child needs educationally and we know what a child needs to build character. We determine the curriculum and set the standards; there are indeed absolutes that need to be taught.
God has revealed Himself in a general way in His world universe, and in a specific way in the Bible. By faith in God's Son Jesus Christ, man's soul is regenerated and brought back into fellowship with God.
The Christian school should provide an atmosphere for knowing Christ personally, for nurturing Christian growth, and for encouraging a commitment to Christian service.
We believe discipline is scriptural. Children need discipline; it gives them security within bounds. Parents appreciate discipline, and a teacher's efficiency is greatly increased by good discipline in the classroom.
We believe that children need to learn honor and respect for parents and others in authority; that a man's word is bond; that they should be proud of America; and that the free enterprise system is still the best system.
The child's home, church and school experience and training should compliment each other in promoting academic, spiritual, physical and social growth and should be preparation for life: a life of dependence upon and fellowship with God and service to man.
