Statement of Faithto follow.The construction on thegymnasium was completed in October 2008.In this facility, a K5-12th grade program hasbeen offered with college preparatoryacademics, athletics, and fine artsopportunities.We believe the Bible to be the holy, inspired,infallible Word of God providing precise rulesof faith and practice. We believe in one God,existing in three persons: the Father, Son,and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity ofJesus Christ, His sinless life, vicariousdeath, glorious resurrection, and imminentreturn. We believe salvation comes by faithalone and exists in the repentant heart,engenderingfaith,andunreservedcommittal of one’s self to Christ as Saviorwith purpose to love and obey His ectives and PhilosophyHilltop Free Will Baptist Church and HilltopChristian School hold that Christianeducation is a directive from God for theChristian family (Prov. 19:27; 22:2; Deut.6:6-9; Col. 2:8). We believe in the growthprocess of the total person. We strive topromote the student’s spiritual, academic,social, and physical growth.Mission StatementStudents should be grounded in Biblicalmoral values, patriotism, citizenship, moralcharacter,andsuperioracademicknowledge. Hilltop Christian School adheresto these goals:1. To lead children to a personalknowledge of Christ as Savior2. To prepare children spiritually byinstilling in them a love for the LordJesus Christ and a sense ofresponsibility to obey God’s precepts3. To prepare children to serve Godeffectively4.

Hilltop Christian Schoolopened in August of 1982 with an enrollmentof seventy students. Due to the steadygrowth of the school, the church voted to addan educational building to its existing facilityin 1985. The transition from the AcceleratedChristian Education curriculum to atraditional classroom setting began in 2001and concluded in 2004. With both thechurch and the school growing steadily,construction started on a new facility in thefall of 2005. In December of 2006, thechurch and school moved into the completedbuilding with plans for the construction of agymnasium with additional classroom spaceAdmission Policy and ProceduresThe church and school have a raciallynondiscriminatory policy and, therefore,shall not discriminate against members,applicants, students, and others on the basisof race, color or national or ethnic origin.3
HCS does not admit students who aremarried, homosexual, transgender, sexuallypromiscuous, or recently expelled from otherschools. See the Hilltop Church by-laws formore about our moral, gender, and doctrinalbeliefs. HCS accepts students when parentsshare the school’s objectives andphilosophy, and when the student complieswith the Standards of Conduct. Students arerequired to regularly attend services at aChristian, Bible-teaching church (JehovahWitness, Mormon, United Pentecostal, orCatholic services do not qualify). High schoolstudents must profess to be born-againChristians. Be aware that HCS does nothave a special education department anddoes not have the resources to properlyassist students with special educationneeds.They must fulfill all financial obligations withtheir previous school before transferring.The student’s discipline record may also berequested. All new students entering 1st -11thgrades (new seniors are not permitted) willbe required to take a placement test uponacceptance. After testing, the principal willdetermine the student’s academic status andgrade. High school students’ course creditswill be transferred to HCS if the coursescomply with the UNC Board of Governorsrequirements for college entrance.Re-EnrollmentStudents who are currently enrolled in HCSwill have a seat reserved until the preregistration date has expired. A reenrollment form must be completed, and there-enrollment fee must be paid before thisdate. Tuition accounts must be currentbefore re-enrollment will be processed.Beginning in mid-February, enrollment isbased on a first come basis.Admissions Procedures:1. Request an admissions packet,2. Schedule an interview with the principal,3. Submit a pastor reference form to yourpastor,4. Complete the registration form online,5. Pay the registration fee,6. Schedule placement testing for yourstudent.Governance and Church-SchoolRelationshipHilltop Christian School exists as a ministryof Hilltop FWB Church. The Board ofDeacons for Hilltop FWB Church performsthe duties of the school board, and thepastor serves as the chief executive of theschool. The principal oversees the dailyoperations of the school. Teachers instructstudents academically, supervise them, andcare for them physically, emotionally, andspiritually.The interview with the principal begins theenrollment procedure. It includes a tour ofthe facility, as well as an examination of thestudent’s academic and behavioral record.Please bring a copy of the student’s latestreport card or standardized test results.Upon acceptance, parents will need torequest a transfer of their child’s permanentrecords and submit a copy of their child’sbirth certificate and immunization record.The first tuition payment and book fees mustbe paid in August through FACTS. Parentsshould also attend the Orientation meeting.As an educational outreach, HCS hasopened its doors to the community; however,the same philosophy adopted by the churchis adapted to the Christian school.Therefore,parentswhobecomeuncooperative and volubly disgruntled withthe church or who become openly criticaland unruly in their disagreement will lose theprivilege of their children attending HCS.Transfer StudentsStudents seeking to transfer to HCS must bein good standing with their previous school.4
Parental Agreement andCommunicationtheir help will be appreciated on a volunteerbasis. Whenever parents assist with schoolactivities, they are asked to abide by schooldress policies. Some volunteer opportunitiesmay require the volunteer to undergo acriminal background check. Contact yourchild’s teacher to be placed on the list ofvolunteers.Because the Bible has given parents themandate to rear their children (Duet 11:9),the Christian school should assist theparents, not replace the parents. Studentswill not excel academically or developspiritually without parental involvement.Therefore, parents should actively supervisetheir students in the areas of homeworkcompletion and test preparation.Withparental reinforcement, discipline problemsmay be kept to a minimum. Parents mayreceive occasional phone calls fromteachers or the principal; this insuresadequate communication between theschool and the parents in order to quicklyalleviate problems that would otherwisepersist.Standard of ConductIn order to develop the spiritual character ofeach student, Standards of Conduct havebeen adopted that will benefit each student’sspiritual growth. Every student must adhereto these standards, whether they are onschool property or away from the campus,during the school year or summer break.Maintaining a Christian environment canonly be accomplished when students whowould manifest poor testimonies orcontribute negative peer pressure aredisallowed the privilege of attending HCSThe school will maintain accurate records ofstudents’ demographic information, grades,and attendance. Personal files will be keptsecure and private. Should the school ceaseto exist, Hilltop Church will maintain files forparental access. We maintain a safe schoolspace that is asbestos free and is subject toyearly inspections by the health and firedepartments.Therefore, any student who breaches theStandards of Conduct will be disciplinedthrough detention, suspension, or expulsion.Students are expected to live according tothe school’s standards of conduct whenschool is in and out of session. HCSstudents must consistently observe thefollowing standards: Faithful church attendance to a Biblebelieving church Refrain from all illegal activity Refrain from all forms of alcohol,tobacco, and drug abuse Refrain from listening to music andattending dances with violent or vulgarlyrics Refrain from fornication, homosexuality,transgender activity, and immoralpracticesTeachers will make efforts to keep parentsinformed of their child's disciplinary andacademic performance; however, parentsshould also assume responsibility to initiatecommunication.Throughout the year,students will bring home tests, forms, andnotes to be signed; all papers should besigned and returned within two days.Parent/teacher conferences may berequested by either the parents or theteacher. Parents and teachers should worktogether to resolve problems. Parents whohave a problem with their child’s teachershould contact the administration. Allmatters should be handled in a Christianmanner, void of slander and gossip. Parentsmay also be asked to help with schoolfunctions (field trips, fund raisers, ect.), andDisciplineDiscipline and order is vitally necessary toachieve the goals of Christian education.Students cannot effectively learn academic,subject matter or spiritual values when5
discipline is disregarded. The principal andteachers administer discipline with love andinstruction. If the administration deems thata paddling is required, the parents will becalled to administer corporal punishment atschool.If a student accumulates several detentionsin a quarter, the following action apply: 4thDetention – eligible for suspension fromextracurricular activities, 5th Detention –parent/principal conference, 6th Detention –eligible for removal from extracurricularactivities, 8th Detention – probation,suspension; two probations in a year mayresult in expulsion or refused reenrollmentfor the next year, 9th Detention – possibleexpulsion, 10th Detention – expulsion.At the beginning of each year, Junior Highand High Schools students must sign astatement agreeing that they have read andaim to comply with school policies. When JHand HS students become disruptive in classor breech the handbook and classroompolicies, they may be given disciplinaryassignments or demerits. Students will begiven detentions when they accumulate 4demerits. These detentions must be servedon the day assigned. Students will becharged 3.00 for each hour of detentionserved.Some suspensions may be “in school” andothers may be “out of school.” Suspendedstudents will receive a zero in all daily gradesfor each day of suspension; however, examsand tests may be made up at the teacher’sconvenience. A 35.00 fee will be chargedfor each day of suspension. The principaland administrator will determine whensuspensions and expulsions are necessary.The principal will also determine the typeand length of suspensions.When cooperation from a student or parentseems insufficient or a behavioral problempersists, the student may be requested totransfer out. The administrator, principal,and school board will determine if a studentmay return after being expelled for one year.The following offenses may warrantdetentions, suspensions, or expulsion: Fighting or harming students Willful disobedience, defiance, ordisrespect to authority Willful destruction of another’sproperty Indecent, inappropriate, or racistlanguage Cheating, stealing, or dishonesty Blatant disregard for the standards ofconduct Provoking other students Bringing a weapon to school Skipping school Persistently disregarding school rulesand policyPayment PlanAll families should sign up for an accountwith FACTS, the company handling all tuitionbilling and collecting.

If anaccount has not been paid by the end of themonth, the student may be suspended untilthe payment is made. If a student iswithdrawn or expelled from HCS, the fulltuition payment for the calendar month ofwithdrawal or expulsion must still be paid,Parents will be notified when a detentionmust be served, and all detention forms mustbe returned with the students whendetentions are served. Students will only beallowed to reschedule a detention in thecase of a family emergency, sickness, orlong term plans. Work, extra-curricularactivities, or athletics will not be accepted asviable reasons. Non-viable absences fromdetention will result in demerits.6
regardless of the day of the month.Registration fees and book fees are nonrefundable; only tuition for months notattended will be refunded. Tuition paymentsmust be current before a student will beallowed to participate in K-5 or high schoolgraduation ceremonies. The school maywithhold report cards and records until tuitionis paid in full.dismissals will be counted in the samemanner as tardiness. Excused reasons forarriving late or leaving early must includesickness, uncommon traffic, medicalappointments, unforeseeable emergencies,or family bereavement.Students will be considered absent if theyarrive after 10:00am or leave before12:00pm. Students will only be excused forabsences due to sickness, bereavement,and unforeseeable emergencies; andstudents must return to school with a notewritten by the parents, explaining thesickness or reason for absence. Whenschool is missed, students may notparticipate in extracurricular activities on thatday of absence.

High school students willnot receive credit for a course when absentmore than 15 classes per semester. Theonly exception will be a long-term illness thatcan be verified by a doctor.Before and After SchoolParents may begin bringing their students toschool at 7:15am; children should never beleft on campus before the doors are opened.There is no charge for "before school" care.All students who are not picked up by3:15pm must go directly to "aftercare."Parents will be billed for "after school" care,and parents must pick up their children by6:00pm. Athletes must also go to "after care"or an appointed study hall until it is time forthem to arrive at practice, and they mustreturn after practice is over. They will not becharged for the time before practice (siblingsof athletes will be charged), but they will becharged for the time they spend in aftercareafter practice.

They will be dismissed from thelunchroom early enough to go to theirlockers before school begins.Absences, Tardiness, and LateDismissalsMake-Up Work for AbsencesAbsenteeism and tardiness will impair astudent's academic progress. It can also bean inconvenience to the teacher whilecausing class disruptions. Students whoarrive at 8:00am or later will be consideredlate for school. If they are late, they shouldnot enter the classroom until they have firstchecked in at the office and received a tardyform. When a student has been tardy threetimes or has left early three times forunexcused reasons in a grading period, hewill be disqualified for perfect attendance.When parents need to pick up their childearly, they must sign out in the office. EarlyParents or students should contact theteacher when they know they will be absent.When students are absent, they are notexcused from their schoolwork.

unexcused absence will take place, theparents or students should contact theteacher before the absence takes place.Arrangements for making up schoolwork andtests must be made before the absencetakes place.

Onthe day of return, students may make up thetests and quizzes missed with a letter gradededuction. Each additional day taken tomake up work will result in additional lettergrade deductions.CurriculumBelieving that any contrary purpose wouldnot be Christian, Hilltop Christian School haspurposed to excel in academics. While theteachers have been delegated theresponsibility to teach the students, webelieve that parents are ultimatelyresponsible for their child's education.Educating children will require teamworkbetween the parents and teachers. Ourstudents perform above the nationalaverage, and we wish to continue highstandards of academics. We believe thatboth the educator and the curriculum shouldbe Bible-based and Christ-centered, and wehold to the belief that the Bible is truth andany curriculum that opposes Scripturalprinciples must be omitted.GPA SCALE:A4*Add 1 point for honorsB3courses and 2 points for APC2courses.

Dress Code and AppearanceWe hold the conviction that genders shouldremain distinct and separate in appearance;and one's appearance should not conform toworldly styles that would compromise one’sChristian reputation. Women should donothing that reduces their femininity, whilemen should never carry themselves in a waythat detracts from their masculinity. With ourdress code, we endeavor to create anatmosphere that is conducive to learning.Students’ attitudes are influenced by theirappearance; therefore, students should bedressed appropriately to maximize theirperformance and behavior.Students are expected to abide by the dresscode at all times when on campus or at aschool function off campus.

School Closings and DelaysWhen school must be closed or delayed,parents will be notified through theSchoolCast alert system. The closing anddelay status will also be submitted to localtelevision stations and their websites.Closings and delays will first be posted onthe school web site. It should not beassumed that HCS always follows thedecisions of the county public schools.Testing & AssessmentsPLACEMENT TESTING: Once a studenthas been registered, a placement test will bescheduled for all incoming 1st-12th gradestudents. Testing will cover math andlanguage arts. It is designed to compare astudent’s achievement to the curriculumstandards at HCS. This testing will provideinformation that parents and teachers canuse to identify learning gaps that will need tobe addressed as the student transitions intoour academic program.ACHIEVEMENT TESTING: Each spring,students in 1st-10th grades take standardizedachievement tests; students in the oddgrades also take a cognitive ability test.These tests offer a measurement thatcompares a student’s achievement tonational averages. The cognitive ability testsmeasure a student’s cognitive ability to learnin school. These tests are not used topromote or retain students; they are used tomeasure a student’s individual progress inschool. These tests also provide the schoolwith group data that can be used to evaluatethe effectiveness of the curriculum andidentify gaps in instruction that need to beaddressed. Because curriculum standardsdiffer from school to school, as well asamong test designers, HCS gives the mostconsideration to the math and language artstests. 11th-12th graders take either the SATor ACT tests. These tests are required forcollege-prep students.CURRICULUM TESTING: Throughout theyear, students will take curriculum tests andquizzes. Other projects will also be includedin the grading system. A report card will beissued at the end of each quarter and will bethe best report of each student’s academicprogress. These grades determine whetheror not a student will be promoted to the nextgrade by the end of the year.Morality and Human SexualityThe school standard is aligned with theHilltop Church constitution, which states:“We believe that God has commanded thatno intimate sexual activity be engaged inoutside of a marriage between one man andone woman. We believe that any form ofhomosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality,bestiality, incest, fornication, adultery, andpornography are sinful perversions of God’sgift of sex. We believe that God disapprovesof and forbids any attempt to alter one’sgender by surgery or appearance. (Gen.2:24; Gen. 19:5, 13; Gen. 26:8-9; Lev. 18:130; Rom. 1: 26-29; 1 Cor. 5:1; 6:9; 1 Thess.4:1-8; Heb. 13:4)”Students are expected to adhere to thisphilosophical statement in their private andpublic
Christian School hold that Christian education is a directive from God for the Christian family (Prov. 19:27; 22:2; Deut. 6:6-9; Col. 2:8). We believe in the growth process of the total person. We strive to promote the student's spiritual, academic, social, and physical growth. Students should be grounded in Biblical
