| Mission |
| Boca Raton Christian School seeks to encourage children to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ and to provide for academic excellence. |
| |
Christian Family Commitment |
We believe that for our school to be effective, parents and faculty need to model both in word and deed the highest level of ethics and moral standards consistent with God's Word. (Eph. 4:24-5:3, 1 Cor. 6:13). Deuteronomy makes clear the responsibility parents have to be the primary teacher and example for their children when the text states to "teach diligently" the commandments and spiritual principles that would honor God. |

| Core Values |
| Boca Raton Christian School embodies its core values with the acronym BearPAW. |
 |
Biblical Perspective
The Bible serves as the foundation for the school's program. Psalm 127:1 |
 |
Parents
The school believes education is primarily the responsibility of the parent. Therefore, the school seeks to work as a team with parents. The home, church, and school form a triple cord of support for our children. Ecclesiastes 4:12 |
 |
Academic Excellence
The school strives for excellence in education which leads to high achievement. Mark 7:37 |
 |
Whole Person
The school program seeks to be balanced and therefore helps meet the needs of the whole child socially, emotionally, intellectually, aesthetically, physically, and above all, spiritually. Luke 2:52 |

| School Philosophy |
Boca Raton Christian School exists because its general purpose, its educational philosophy and its educational objectives are Bible oriented. It is our belief that all truth must be viewed in the light of God's truth, the Word of God. This means that all subjects must be integrated with Biblical truth. |
Boca Raton Christian School is an integral ministry of Boca Raton Community Church. The philosophical distinctives of the church are mirrored in the educational philosophy of the school. The church and school work hand in hand for the mutual benefit of the total family. We believe that Boca Raton Christian School is an extension of the Christian home and it seeks to facilitate the home as much as possible. |
Boca Raton Christian School exists to fulfill the need of providing a Christian education for children of average and above aptitude and achievement. It is our goal that students entering Boca Raton Christian School experience success. Academic achievement standards for admission have therefore been established to help insure the student's success. Boca Raton Christian School embraces a traditional approach to the elementary and secondary curriculum. Strong emphasis is placed on phonics, computational skills, good study habits, and encouraging a disciplined approach to the pursuit of knowledge. |
It is our belief that the needs of the whole child must be met. In order for these needs to be met, growth in the following areas is necessary: spiritual, moral, personal, social, academic, and physical. |
Curricular experiences are intended to achieve three purposes. The first purpose is to enable the child to learn the basic skills of reading, writing, speech, and mathematics in accordance with his capabilities and needs. The second purpose is to aid the child in learning to make functional use of these skills in those areas of the curriculum which promote critical thinking, social growth, environmental awareness and a balanced personality. The third purpose is to offer challenging and stimulating enrichment opportunities to encourage academically superior students to work to their full potential. |
