Mission Statement

We are a hybrid Christian school that blends home education with classroom learning. Our mission is to build the kingdom of God through a foundation on the Word of God and to equip students with excellence in truth and understanding for the glory of God in Jesus Christ.  We will strive to accomplish this by supporting homeschool families with comprehensive classroom experiences to help each student grow in academic excellence.

 

By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. -Proverbs 24:3-6

Statement of Faith

Spruce Mountain Christian Academy (SMCA) aligns with the comprehensive evangelical faith rather than affiliating with any specific denomination. In this commitment, SMCA embraces the following declarations of the National Association of Evangelicals:

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

  • We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

SMCA Core Values

Spruce Mountain Christian Academy is committed to providing a quality education within a learning environment that emphasizes four core values:

​

  • Spiritual and Character Development

We teach the gospel of Jesus Christ and nurture the growth of students as disciples of Christ. As students build their relationship with Christ, they are challenged to exemplify behaviors and attitudes which glorify God. Students will see their worth through the eyes of the Lord and use their spiritual gifts to serve God's Kingdom. 

 

We are called to make disciples of all people. (Matthew 28:18)

​

  • Academic Excellence

We are committed to a teaching staff of the highest caliber both professionally and spiritually.  We are committed to using a Biblically integrated curriculum which exceeds national and state standards. We value an honor code of excellence. At Spruce Mountain Christian Academy, we will strive to build the Kingdom of God by exhibiting mature Christian behavior. Our goal is to see each of our students grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, and we take this responsibility very seriously. Part of that growth is emphasizing excellence in everything that we do. Grace will be key in this venture, but God is our Protector, Guide, Comforter, Shepherd, Provider and LORD. 

 

In all you do, do it onto the Lord… Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. (Colossians 3:23)

​

  •  Parent Partnership

We value parental involvement. We will partner with parents by communicating regularly via DreamClass, email, verbally and/or handwritten notes. Because Spruce Mountain Christian Academy is a hybrid school, we value a working relationship with parents who are an integral and essential part of their student’s learning. We desire open communication and positive relationships with the parents of our students. Parents, staff and teachers will be required to work together to support each Spruce Mountain Christian Academy student.

 

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

 

  •  Community Fellowship

At SMCA we will foster relationships with the homeschool, Tri-Lakes and surrounding communities.  We value our community. We believe that no man is an island and that we were designed to live in relationship with each other. Spruce Mountain Christian Academy emphasizes the importance of friendship and care of our students, parents, staff and faculty. When restoration is needed between people at SMCA, we will follow the Matthew 18:15 guidelines. Discord needs to remain confidential as we work through restoration steps.
