THE HIGH SCHOOL SEEKS, THROUGH THE CORE CURRICULUM, ELECTIVES, AND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, TO PUT STUDENTS IN A POSITION OF HAVING THE BROADEST POSSIBLE RANGE OF CHOICES WHEN IT COMES TIME TO APPLY TO COLLEGES. BIBLE CLASSES ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE CURRICULUM AT SANTA FE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS, AND THEY ARE TAUGHT FROM AN ORTHODOX, DISTINCTIVELY CHRISTIAN VIEWPOINT.(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)IT IS OUR OBJECTIVE TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO LOOK AT LIFE WITH AN "ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE." HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN GLOBAL MINISTRIES TRIPS WHERE THEY ARE INVOLVED IN VOLUNTEER TEACHING, MINOR MEDICAL TREATMENT, ENGLISH PRACTICE, AND BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH COMMUNITIES. THE SANTA FE CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AS A NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL IN 2017. THERE WERE 320 MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN SANTA FE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS. THE MIDDLE SCHOOL EXISTS TO FACILITATE A SMOOTH TRANSITION BETWEEN THE DEPENDENCE OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL YEARS AND THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL YEARS. WE CALL THESE THE "BRIDGE YEARS." THE PRIMARY GOAL FOR EACH STUDENT IS TO LEARN HOW TO LEARN INDEPENDENTLY. THE ACADEMIC SKILLS THAT WERE TAUGHT IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL YEARS ARE REINFORCED AND BUILT UPON IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE ACCUMULATION OF KNOWLEDGE IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING UNLESS ONE KNOWS HOW TO USE IT APPROPRIATELY. CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS CONTINUE TO BE DEVELOPED IN EACH STUDENT. IN ORDER FOR EDUCATION TO BE COMPLETE, IT MUST BE BASED ON A STANDARD OF TRUTH. THE BIBLE IS THE STANDARD UPON WHICH THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM AT SFCS IS BASED. THE SANTA FE CHRISTIAN MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AS A NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL IN 2015. THERE WERE 348 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN SANTA FE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS. THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (K-5) PROGRAM PROVIDES A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR A LIFETIME OF LEARNING. OUR EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY IS BASED ON THE VISION OF THE SCHOOL: TO SEEK TO HONOR GOD BY PREPARING CHRISTIAN LEADERS OF TOMORROW TO SERVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHILE ADHERING TO STATE STANDARDS, SFCS INTEGRATES BIBLICAL TRUTH IN ALL SUBJECT AREAS. THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE AND DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF BETTER EQUIPPING OUR STUDENTS TO BE EFFECTIVE CHRISTIAN LEADERS. THE SANTA FE CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS RECOGNIZED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AS A NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL IN 2011. 27577466 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 63 0 1 292 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 12 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X MARNI BLAKELY 8587558900 838 ACADEMY DR SOLANA BEACH CA 92075 BLAKE BOLTON CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RACHELLE COSTA SECRETARY OF THE BOARD 1.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVE HUFFMAN VICE CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 HACK ADAMS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL BURER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DANIELLE KRUGER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CARA MILLER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CANDYCE MILES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KURT RAYNERS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JANEAN STRIPE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN YPHANTIDES BOARD MEMBER (PART YEAR) 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARC MCBRIDE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHERINE SCHONEMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROD GILBERT HEAD OF SCHOOLS 40.00 X X 599923 0 47604 KURT DE PFYFFER CHIEF FINANCIAL/OPERATIONS OFFICER 40.00 X 286197 0 76327 HANNAH PARK CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER 40.00 X 191923 0 10670 TODD DEVEAU MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 177590 0 31968 ROB HONMA CHIEF TECHNICAL OFFICER 40.00 X 207903 0 49180 MICHAEL SICILIANO UPPER SCH.
