Sarasota Christian School
School Notes Overview:
Sarasota Christian School educational goals flow out of its mission, which is to honor God by providing academic excellence for students while developing their Christian faith in partnership with the home, the church, and the community. The school partners with the home, the church, and the community but the school does not replace or even duplicate the work of these institutions. It reinforces, complements and, in special cases, extends their work. We strive to provide opportunities for students so that they develop their gifts and interests within a place of grace, peace and joy. We build our curriculum around both core courses and electives and our co-curricular program around student interests. We connect students with churches and church leaders, with Christian and community social service agencies, with Christian artists, both local and national, as well as with counseling and tutoring opportunities. We expect students to gain knowledge and develop skills that open up for them a range of career choices. We also expect students to graduate and to focus their lives on mission, peacemaking and service within both the local and global communities....
