SMLCA House System

The House System at Smith Mountain Lake Christian Academy is built upon these five pillars:

heart, soul, mind, strength, and love.

Our pillars come together to create faith-filled young people striving towards a common purpose. These goals are influenced by the school verse:

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31).

With these pillars in mind, the House System exists to further the missions and ministry of the school by working to:

  • Integrate faith more fully into community life

  • Enable students to grow academically, spiritually, and socially

  • Provide greater pastoral care by integrating students into a support system

  • Equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for them to provide effective leadership

  • Promote unity among students and growth of relationships between grade levels

  • Inspire academic excellence and development of each individual’s gifts and talents

  • Nurture a vibrant school spirit
