Faculty Policies Applicable to Parents & Students

Code of Ethics Policy

This policy was established to maintain the testimony of ADCCA as a Christian school. This policy applies to all individuals who represent ADCCA in any capacity and states that all teachers, staff members, and representatives of ADCCA are expected to conform to biblical standards of behavior at all times.

Loco Parentis Policy

The phrase loco parentis means “in place of the parents.” This policy is maintained to ensure that parental authority over the education of their children is respected at ADCCA. This policy applies to all teachers and staff who exercise authority of any kind over the students.

1. At all levels, the ADCCA Board, administration, and teachers acknowledge that the school does not function above parental authority, but rather with delegated authority (in loco parentis) from the parents.
2. The ADCCA mission statement represents the desired results, which we believe will come from our education and support of godly homes. We intend to fulfill these established goals through supporting parents who are already dedicated to such goals in their respective households.
3. The school implementation of our goal is not intended to supplant the responsibility of parents before God for the nurture and education of their children.
4. The school will seek to fulfill the obligations we have with regard to this policy, and both our goals, primarily through careful admissions procedures, faithfulness to our stated mission, and biblical discipline.
