Christ-Like Conduct
Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy is a community of Christians which patterns life after the teachings of Jesus Christ. We look within the pages of Scripture to understand God’s expectations for this community. As we learn, work, serve, play, and live together our goal is to be centered in Christ. Each member of the faculty, administration, staff, and student body is expected to pattern his or her life after the example of Jesus. Love for God and love for others should define the experience of those in the classroom, at sporting events, during school social activities and surrounding any activity with which Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy is engaged.
Our desire is for each person in the community to grow spiritually, morally, intellectually and socially. To that end, behavior which does not reflect a willingness to follow the teachings of Scripture as it relates to personal conduct or is not conducive to a spiritually healthy learning or social environment will be vigorously discouraged.
To be Christ-centered is not simply a slogan posted in each room. It is our honest, prayerful desire. The faculty and administration will follow our God-given responsibility to hold students and each other honestly and humbly accountable to this core value.
Being Christ-centered is a total life experience. It cannot be reduced to a few behavioral guidelines. However, Scripture does define some of the ways to which followers of Christ are to conform. In particular, CHCA asks that students not participate in the viewing of pornography, engaging in pre-marital sex or any form of homosexual behavior, drinking alcohol, using illegal drugs or tobacco, or using any other addictive substances. It is clearly expected that students follow the laws of the land regarding drug, alcohol, and tobacco use. Modesty is also expected in dress, dance, and interactions between students.
Integrity, including academic integrity, is to be maintained at all times. All students are expected to respect those in authority and respect other students. Fighting, gossip, slander and lying are unacceptable.
It is out of our gratitude to God for His love, empowered by the Holy Spirit, informed by the instruction of the Word of God that we seek to walk in the steps of Jesus and follow His example.
