HOME
The doctrinal beliefs of Savannah Christian Academy emphasize the inter-relationship of three institutions, the home, the church and the school, working together for the betterment of the child. At Savannah Christian Academy, it is our firm conviction that proper training first begins in the home. The home was the first institution God set on the earth and it is where the child first learns set patterns of behavior. Each child learns to respond to discipline and authority as he/she reacts to the controls or guidelines of the mother and father. There he/she also learns how to respond to other individuals, either by playing with other children in his/her family or those who live nearby. So it is the home where the child learns a value system of right and wrong. When a child is taught proper discipline and respect in the early years at home, he/she is then ready to be educated and to develop the skills necessary for him/her to face life successfully.
CHURCH
Second, it is our conviction that God has also instituted His church as the institution directly responsible for the winning of the unsaved to Christ and the exhorting and training of the saved. This includes the teaching of Biblical principles of living as found in the scriptures. We believe that the Bible describes the local church as a body of born-again believers led by a pastor under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We, therefore, affirm that Christian children must be taught respect for God, His Word, and the Biblical principles of His Word, and that children should live by these principles. In brief, a few examples of Biblical principles which we teach, are as follows:
·         God has always existed, will always exist, and has all knowledge and truth.  (Genesis 1).
·         God created the heavens and the earth and all plants and animals that live upon the earth, each reproducing after its own kind.
·         God created man in His own image. Man, through disobedience, sinned against God and chose to please himself rather than his Creator. 
·          All men, children included, are sinners by nature. We naturally are selfish and therefore commit sins against God, others and ourselves. (Romans 3:23, Isaiah 53:6)  In order to defeat sin we must so live by Biblical principles.
·         Each one needs a personal relationship with God. This is obtained by first realizing one is a sinner; second, by seeing Jesus Christ as the perfect sinless Son of God who died on the cross to pay for the individual’s sins; and third, by having faith in that payment and in repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ, calling upon the Lord Jesus to come into his heart and save him. (Romans 10:9, 10, 13)
