All students are enrolled full-time from Monday through Friday.  The 7 levels of students will rotate through the 7 HAMSTER disciplines on either a Traditional or A/B Block Schedule.

There are 7 HAMSTER Periods and 1 Passion Period for a total of 8 Periods that are 40 minutes long every day or 80 minutes long every other day. Additionally, we start as well as end each day together with a United Period that is 5 minutes long, have short Passing Periods that are 3-5 minutes long, and have 1 Lunch/Recess Period in the middle of each day that is 60 minutes long.

"Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom."

Admission to School Alive is a privilege and not a right. lt is a privilege granted to those students who manifest a desire to live as Bible-believing, consecrated Christians. The school reserves the right to dismiss any student who, in the opinion of the administration and board, does not fit into the spirit of the school, even if that student has kept all the rules and regulations of the school.

School Alive admits students of any race, color, national, or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students of this school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admission policy, scholarship programs, athletic, and other school-administered programs.

Students and/or their families applying for admission must:

• Desire a strong Christian education and social environment with moral absolutes.
• Commit to support their child, the staff, the school and its programs, and uphold the school’s Statement of Faith.
• Have a strong academic background.
