Policies & Procedures
At Arrowhead Christian Academy, we seek to provide a quality Christian education while partnering with parents in training their children to develop an understanding of their faith and its relevance to their lives. We believe this partnering works best when the home, school, and church hold similar doctrinal beliefs. For this reason, one of our enrollment policies is that families regularly attend a church similar in doctrine and practice to Northwest Valley Baptist Church, our sponsoring church.
