Code of Honor


Church on the Rock Christian Academy is a Christian ministry committed to serving Jesus Christ by education young people for a lifestyle of honoring Him in work, prayer, reading the Bible and recreation. Therefore, the staff of Church on the Rock Christian Academy asks that each student make a commitment to be a person of integrity, respecting the values of the school and the authority of the administration. We believe corporal punishment is a Bible-based principle to be administered at the discretion of the parent in the privacy of his own home; therefore, this discipline is not a procedure at COTRCA.


It is our desire that each student seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit on a daily basis:


1. To apply himself whole-heartedly to use the full intellectual powers of his mind for the glory of God


2. To grow in His spirit by seeking through prayer, reading, and meditating on the word of God, and personal relationship with God


3. To develop his body with sound health habits, eating nourishing food and participating in physical activities


4. To cultivate good relationships with others, learning to communicate in truth and in love, seeking to love others as himself, renouncing lying, cheating, stealing, cursing, and tale bearing

A CHRISTIAN EDUCATION: Church on the Rock Christian Academy and its God-centered, curriculum meets the educational needs of today with the traditional values of yesterday and the technology of tomorrow. For more than two decades COTRCA has offered a back-to-God, back-to-parents, back-to-basics, and back-to-the-individual movement in education for its students. Honoring God through non-denominational morning devotions, students also hear and memorize Scripture verses in their learning materials throughout the year. Every Friday, Chapel Services are held in the Sanctuary, with worship songs praising the Lord and a message from the Bible. The faculty and staff meet together for prayer every morning before school begins to seek God's blessing on the day and to offer special prayers when needed.
