Mission Statement: 

Acacia International School's mission is to provide a rigorous and balanced Christian education that challenges students to excel academically and live out a Biblical worldview.

Organizational Statement of Faith: 

As Christians we believe:
1. The revelation of God given in the Old and New Testaments and confess
the historic faith of the Gospel which it contains. These outline Christian
faith and which should result in mutual love and a practical compassion and
concern for all.
2. The sovereignty and grace of God the Father, God the Son and God the
Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation and final judgement.
3. The divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, its trustworthiness and
authority in everything related to faith and conduct.
4. The virgin birth of Jesus Christ, Gods only begotten Son, begotten by His
will through the Holy Spirit.
5. The universal sinfulness and guilt of fallen humanity, making each
individual subject to Gods wrath and condemnation.
6. The sacrifice of the Incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ on a cross, as the
sole grounds of redemption from guilt and freedom from the power of sin
and from its eternal consequences.
7. The justification of the sinner solely by the grace of God through faith in
Jesus Christ.
8. The illumination, regeneration, indwelling and sanctifying work of the Holy
Spirit.
9. The priesthood of all believers, who together form the universal church, the
Body of which Jesus Christ is the Head and which is committed by His
command to the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the world.
10. The relevant expression of the Body of Christ in and through the local
church.
11. The expectation of the personal, visible return of Jesus Christ in power and
glory and the ascension into glory with Christ of all believers.
12. The resurrection of the dead and eternal life granted to all that trust and
believe in Jesus Christ
