About SRCS 

Spanish River Christian School Celebrates Over 20 Years!

Spanish River Christian School was established in 1982 as a ministry of Spanish River Church.  Our purpose is to provide children who are capable of succeeding at or above grade level in a traditional classroom setting with a quality education where Christian truth and values permeate all areas of instruction.

Located in the heart of Boca Raton, Florida, Spanish River Christian School offers a total educational program designed to develop the full potential of each child in preschool (3-and 4-year olds) through 8th grade.  The staff welcomes your interest in Spanish River Christian School (SRCS) and encourages you to become familiar with the facilities, educational program, and staff.

What's special about Spanish River Christian School?

Why not the best for your child?

At SRCS, teachers strive to cultivate the uniqueness of each child.  Our goal is to develop mature, healthy self-concepts as well as to strengthen individual talents and abilities for the continuing educational process and life's spiritual journey.

We invite you to make an appointment to visit SRCS to view the facilities and have your questions answered by our staff.  Arrangements can be made by calling the school office at (561) 994-5006.  We encourage you to read the "Statement of Purpose and Belief" as perceived by our Board of Education.

Statement of Purpose and Belief

The primary purpose of Spanish River Christian School shall be to provide opportunity for students to study in a Christ-centered academic environment.  Spanish River Christian School invites all Bible-believing Christians with regular church attendance to make application for admission of their children.

SRCS has been established as a ministry of Spanish River Church for the purpose of providing Christian education to the children of members, and other children, according to the Session's desires and direction.

We Believe:

  1. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, as originally given, are the inerrant Word of God;  the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
  2. That parents are responsible unto God for the Christian nurture and education of children.
  3. That SRCS is called by the grace of God to assist the parents in the Christian nurture and education of children.
  4. That parents and the Christian school are called by God to prepare children to successfully meet the challenges of the world and truly be the "salt of the earth" which Jesus Christ called His followers to be.
  5. That we and our children can only be saved by grace through faith - and not of ourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, that no one should boast.  For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which our God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Approach to Christian Education

SRCS approaches Christian education from a Reformed perspective, believing in the sovereignty of God in all things.  We do recognize the many non-Christian elements in our culture and the evil influences which attack traditional family values.  Rather than retreat from these realities, we regard them as opportunities to present the Christian view (II Corinthians 5, 6).  There is value in knowing and acquainting students with the positions taken by the world and confronting the challenging world views.

Our goal is to train young people who possess the skills, understanding, and their unique gifts to become a vital part of the Body of Christ as it seeks to redeem and reconcile (II Corinthians 5:18-20) God's creation for God's glory.  Our children must see Christ as the focal point of all areas of life.  A Christian education enables them to view the world more clearly from a Christian perspective.  We must equip them with a Biblical framework of reference, a Christian world and life view, so they can relate the challenges and questions they will face to a set of principles and truths which are Godly, eternal, and absolute.  The Christian school can provide the basic tools necessary to think with the mind of Christ so that children develop a Biblically-based philosophy of life.
