Every student prepared to impact the world for Jesus Christ
High School and Middle School Handbook, 2007-2008
FAMILY COMMITMENT
All families with students at Landmark are expected to agree to the following commitment.
1. I as parent or guardian accept God's responsibility which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Prov.22:6) and do affirm that this training is carried on in the home. I promise that the home will provide a secure haven of safety, free from the very influences we recognize as harmful and focus on "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." (Phil 4:8).
2. I have carefully examined and endorse the Mission Statement, the Landmark Christian School Honor Code, and Statement of Faith of Landmark and desire the school to work with me in the total education of my children.
3. In accordance with the philosophy of Landmark, my student(s) and I will maintain active involvement in an orthodox, evangelical Christian congregation.
4. I pledge my loyalty to the aims and ideals of Landmark and will bring any criticisms directly to the faculty and/or administration so that those in authority may properly consider them.
5. If for any reason my child does not meet the academic requirements or cooperate with the disciplinary standards in accordance with the procedures stated in the Student Handbook, I will cooperate with the administration as it handles these situations and will avoid discussion with those not involved, so as to avert a spirit of dissension and division at either my child's expense or the school's. Landmark reserves the right to dismiss, suspend, or otherwise discipline any student who does not adhere to the standards stated in the Student Handbook.
6. I agree with Landmark's philosophy that participation in extracurricular activities (athletics, fine arts, leadership positions) is an important aspect of a well-balanced education--". . . in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and Man" (Luke 2:52)--and, therefore, will encourage my student to participate in accordance with his/her interests and abilities.
7. I understand that Landmark Christian School is a non-profit ministry. Tuition is kept as low as possible to make quality Christian education available to those who desire it for their children. While tuition and fees cover basic operating costs, additional funds and services are required to enable Landmark to maintain the high quality and excellence of its programs. In full cooperation with Landmark, I will actively participate in the promotion of Landmark with a commitment of my time, talents, and financial resources and will uphold Landmark consistently in family prayer.
I realize the importance of joining LCS in a partnership for the best education of my child.
I have read the Family Commitment carefully and hereby agree to its terms.
As a Landmark student I am committing to the Honor Code in desiring to live an honorable lifestyle.
