Do you have a Statement of Faith that you adhere to?
• That the teaching of the morals and ethics associated with a Christian worldview goes hand in hand
with excellent academics.
• Sunrise Christian Academy teaches in accordance with doctrines related to the definitions of human
life, marriage, sex, gender, and family. These doctrines include but are not necessarily limited to our
belief that:
1. Human life begins at conception
2. Sexual relations are best reserved for marriage
3. By our right words and actions, we honor God
4. Marriage is a permanent union of one man and one woman
5. Every person is either male or female
6. A person’s sex is an objective biological fact
• Advocating against or deliberately contradicting these doctrines in a way that interferes with or
significantly undermines the mission of Sunrise Christian Academy may be grounds for removal from
the school community at the discretion of the principal and/or school board.

Are there any specific Dress Codes that I should be aware of?
Standards of dress are important to our academy. Clothing for students in the academy must be characterized by modesty, safety, appropriateness, and good taste. Students are expected to wear an approved uniform daily. Any accessory or clothing item deemed unsuitable for the academy by administration will be prohibited.
If a student arrives at SCA not dressed in a school uniform, he or she will be required to call home for a uniform
or may be sent home. SCA looks to parents as being responsible for the dress of their student.
· Clothing will be conservative and should be modest in all respects.
· Clothing will be conducive to good health, comfort, and safety.
· A dress code check will be done during the 1st period of all classes by staffs.
Staffs may request specific attire for SCA functions such as music performances, field trips, or outdoor education. On special occasions, such as Spirit Day, academy-wide campus wear modifications will be announced. Parents should ensure that students follow the campus wear guidelines. This is applicable for all grades. Be sure to check out the Parent/Student Handbook to see all rules and regulations regarding our dress codes.
