“Comm.” stands for communication. We believe that communication, both written and verbal, is an important aspect of the Christian life. One can possess knowledge and Truth, but it is powerless if they lack the communication skills necessary to share it with those in their spheres of influence.

“Comm.” stands for community. We believe that God designed us to be in community with one another in all we do. The Academy provides opportunities for friendships to be forged.

Teaching Application

Q:

A:

It is our desire that all parents aspire for their students to complete all assignments to the best of their ability. It can be very discouraging for the teacher and other students in the class to have a discussion and others not be prepared.

If your student has a learning difference or an IEP on file, please visit with each teacher about accommodations that can be made.

Q:

A:

• There is a two-week extension on all assignment deadlines to allow for illness, vacation, or other extenuating circumstances.  The assignment will initially be marked as missing, but will be updated if the assignment is submitted within the two-week grace period and the teacher is notified.
