Sussex Christian School realizes that the beginning of knowledge is the fear of the Lord.
For that reason, it is fundamentally important that our children be educated in a God-fearing, Christ honoring environment.
The purpose of this Christian school is to provide a strong, academic education to children in addition to preparing them for a life of obedience to the law of God.
While parents have the ultimate responsibility for instructing their children in the ways of the Lord, the task is too large to be borne alone.
This school exists to aid the church and parents in the formal education of the children and to apply the religious principles taught in the home and church.
