| Who are we? |
|
The doors of Perry Hall Christian School opened for the first time in September of 1971. A ministry of Perry Hall Baptist Church, the school has provided excellent education for students in grades K3-12, giving young people a firm foundation in their faith and providing understanding as to how God wants them to live in the world. Perry Hall Christian is approved by the State of Maryland and the faculty is composed of trained, dedicated teachers who believe that teaching in a Christian school is a ministry to which God has called them. Teachers work with students to emphasize intellectual development, Christian discipleship, and good character formation. In the elementary grades, students are given firm foundations in basic reading and mathematical skills. These vital concepts are reinforced by way of frequent drills and exciting classroom activities. In addition to academics, students in elementary school also take music, art classes, and physical education. The middle school curriculum works to enforce important mathematical and literary concepts, while also challenging the students with introductions to more advanced elements. Middle school students are also given the opportunity to begin a foreign language or take on a more advanced math track. Students in middle school also take music, art, keyboarding (typing), and physical education as part of their curriculum. At the high school level, students are exposed to a wide range of academic subjects and electives. Students also are given opportunities to take advanced courses in mathematics, science, Spanish, and computers. Students interested in taking classes focused around the arts have the opportunity to enjoy music classes such as chorus and praise band, art classes on numerous levels, creative writing, yearbook, sign language, speech, and drama. Students at every grade level are required to take a Bible class each year in attendance at Perry Hall Christian. Bible curriculum, which includes a weekly chapel service, focuses on teaching students more about God and how they can grow in their relationship with Him. Textbooks are also chosen with great care and all subjects are taught from a biblical world view. PHCS is a member of the Maryland Christian Athletic League, an organization of about ten Christian schools with which we compete. The school encourages students to participate in athletics as a way to learn sportsmanship and teamwork while applying Christian principles of character development, such as self-control. Sports offered include volleyball, basketball, soccer, and baseball. PHCS students enjoy a wide range of extracurricular experiences, including participation in student council, chapels, class parties, drama and musical productions, science fair, art fairs, class unity day, and field day. Traditional social events include the junior-senior banquet, ring banquet, senior missions trip, high school ski trip, hayrides, and homecoming. |

| What is our purpose? |
|
The purpose of Perry Hall Christian School is to provide an educational institution where Christian parents can send their children to meet their mental, social, physical, and spiritual needs. Perry Hall Christian School has been established to help parents "train up a child in the way he should go" (Proverbs 22:6) and to "bring them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). Character building and academic excellence go hand in hand as the basic thrusts of Perry Hall Christian School. It is the purpose of the school to provide a sound academic education integrated with a Christian view of God and the world. There are important differences between the Christian and non-Christian viewpoints on any given subject. Even though knowledge is factually the same for both, no subject can be taught in the totality of its truth if the Creator is ignored or denied. Knowledge is purified by the recognition of God's place in it. No other approach to education can be entirely God-honoring, for parents and children, as is such an approach through the Scriptures. Perry Hall Christian School seeks to train leaders for succeeding generations who will impact society for good. We diligently seek to instill the old-fashioned values of faith in God, love of family, patriotism, respect for authority, and hard work, all in an academic environment of motivation toward excellence. The goal is to produce graduates who are productive in their careers for the glory of God, for the benefit of society, and for personal fulfillment. |

| What do we believe? |
|
The basis of faith shall be the Word of God as interpreted by the following: We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Bible: that it is made up of 66 books, and is free from error in doctrine, fact, and ethic- i.e. inerrant; that it is the work of God and the only infallible and authoritative rule of faith and practice. We believe in one Triune God, eternally existent in three co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal and physical return in power and glory. We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that through sin he brought upon himself and posterity not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God; that all human beings by physical birth possess a sinful nature and therefore are actual sinners in thought, word, and deed; and that man, as such, is condemned to hell and is utterly unable to remedy his lost condition by himself or by ecclesiastical rite. We believe that the salvation of lost and sinful man is a free gift of God's grace apart from works, based solely upon Christ's vicarious and atoning death, effected by the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit, and received by trusting in Christ's finished work on the cross. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved to the resurrection of life, and they that are lost to the resurrection of damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. |
