It
is understood that attendance at Gospel Baptist
Christian School is a privilege and not a right and that this privilege may be
forfeited by any student who does not conform to the standards and
regulations of this school. The school may request the
withdrawal of any student at any time, who in the opinion of the
school, does not fit into the spirit of the institution,
regardless of whether or not he conforms to the specific rules and
regulations of the school.
To understand the basic rules and standards of GBCS, one must first realize what the ultimate goal is in the eyes of the school. We at GBCS want your child to become a success in life and we define success according to Joshua 1:8. "This Book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." Knowledge without character is not the key to success. There are many examples of intelligently superior individuals who turned out to be superior disappointments because they did not learn self-discipline and how to implement their knowledge. After a student finds Jesus Christ as his/her personal Savior and Lord, God immediately begins to train him or her in the "way of success". However, the ultimate outcome of the individual is based on whether he or she has developed the necessary basic character. Our definition of one with such character is one who consistently lives and acts according to a set of principles rather than responding to impulse, feeling, or external pressures. At salvation one finds new direction, concrete meaning, and a clear-cut set of thought-action patterns to follow, as found in the Bible. The rule structure for our students is made to accentuate the process of character building while at the same time giving the basic knowledge and skills needed for our day. At first one may not understand the reasons behind some of our rules, but we believe that the student will discover, later in life, that great benefits have been reaped. Then they will realize that these rules played an important part in building their character. Your Friend and Administrator,
