Statement of Non-partisan Political Stance

Whitefish Christian Academy is a Christian School. As an non-denominational, non-political school, our community includes families from different political parties and persuasions. The school neither takes a political stance nor promotes a particular political party or ideology.

The mission of Whitefish Christian Academy is to educate. One of the important subjects of education is politics, and as a Christian school we are keenly interested in the intersection of Christian faith and conviction with politics, both in our own country and across the globe. Accordingly we aim to introduce and explain political issues, parties, candidates, without promoting any one candidate, in age groups where this instruction is appropriate. We desire healthy and robust conversations about political issues, elections, candidates, etc. But we want this debate to be civil, respecting always the rights of others to hold contrary views, while acknowledging an individual's right to privacy.

Most importantly, we seek to teach our students what it means to "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s and to God that which is God’s." We affirm that our allegiance to country and to political alliances is secondary and relative, whereas our allegiance to the Lord Christ is primary and absolute.
