VANGUARD CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE
                                    43360 IH-10 West   Boerne, Texas  78006

      STATEMENT OF COOPERATION BETWEEN PARENTS AND SCHOOL
                                 (This is a contract, read it carefully)

POLICIES AND HANDBOOK:   I have read and understand the parent/student school
handbook and policies; I agree to abide by and cooperate with those policies.

TUITION:  I understand and agree to the policy of the school that tuition is to be payable on
time, no later than the 7th day of the month preceding the month for which the tuition is
applicable.  I further understand that no portion of the registration fees can be refunded or
transferred after August 28th or after students have attended a class.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES:  I grant to Christian Character Ministries Vanguard Institute
my/our permission to allow my child to participate in all school activities and school
sponsored trips away from the school premises.

DISIPLINE:  I believe that discipline is necessary for the welfare of each student and for the
entire school.  I give permission for the teacher and/or other school agents to make and
enforce classroom regulations as to my child/children in a manner consistent with Christian
principles and discipline as set forth in the scriptures and as described in the parent-student
handbook.

BIBLICAL MEDIATION:  I have chosen Christian Character Ministries Vanguard Institute
as a school for my child/ children as I wish them to be taught under Christian Principles.  I
agree to set an example of such Christian principles in the event that there is any dispute
with the school.  I agree to make every reasonable effort to resolve any disputes in a
peaceful discussion with the school officials in private.  I agree that I should seek out the
truth of any fact that I hear from my child in a sincere effort to determine the truth of the
situation, first by approaching the adult party most responsible for any such act or
statement, and then the school officials.  I agree not to take any action of discussing the
issue publicly until I have made such fact finding efforts.  This shall set an example for my
child to defend what is right, but to first determine the facts by going to the source of the
event, and then to officials in charge for resolution of problems.  If the above is not
satisfactory in its results in my opinion, I agree to engage in biblically based mediation.  If
that is unsatisfactory, I agree to submit any dispute to binding arbitration, with each party
selecting one arbitrator and the two chosen arbitrators are to choose a third arbitrator.  In
case of inability to choose the third arbitrator, such shall be chosen by the Christian
Conciliation Services.  The Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of
procedure of Christian Conciliation of the Association of Christian Conciliation Services.  
Phone:  (406)256-1583.  These methods of dispute resolution are considered part of the
schools’ Christian education and methodology program and are binding on both the school
and the parents and shall be the sole remedy to satisfy any dispute or claim arising out of a
school related function, event, or occurrence and both the school and the parent expressly
waives their rights to file lawsuits in a civil judicial court, except to enforce the binding
arbitration decision.  Each party agrees to bear the cost of his/hers/its own arbitrator and
one-half of the neutral third arbitrator and any other arbitration expenses, regardless of the
outcome of the dispute.

CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT:  This is a contractual agreement, is legally binding, and
shall remain in effect for as long as my child/children attend the Christian Character
Ministries School or any of its programs.  Either party may terminate the agreement if it
feels the other party has not maintained its commitment under the covenant of cooperation
outlined herein.  Such termination shall include removal of my child/children from the
school but shall not affect the rights and liabilities for the period of time that my
child/children remained in the school.  Christian Character Ministries agrees to accept my
child in their program in consideration of my agreement to the terms herein.  If one parent
executes this agreement, they guarantee that they have the right to execute this for both
parents or all parties with rightful interests in the children admitted to the program, and
agrees to indemnify and hold Christian Character Ministries harmless against any claims
made buy third parties no signing hereon.  Christian Character Ministries reserves the right
to refuse to admit or continue admission to any student for the good of the entire school, so
long as such refusal by Christian Character Ministries is not made on the grounds of race,
color, creed, religious persuasion, sex, or age.  

LIVING BY EXAMPLE:  We hope that the efforts on our part and on the part of the school
will help to set an example of how to live our lives in harmony and with reasonable response
to conflict and with the acceptance of third party Christian evaluation to further our children’
s development and search for fairness.
