Our Beliefs

• A Christian atmosphere should be provided for learning.

• Students should be provided with a positive learning experience within a safe, comfortable facility. 

• Students should be provided with opportunities for moral, social, spiritual, and cultural growth.

• Teachers should set clear goals with high expectations and present challenges for all students throughout the learning process. 

• Every student is an individual, and care should be taken in addressing individual learning styles and needs when possible. 

• Self-evaluations of our educational process should be conducted in an effort to ensure current and competitive academic excellence.

Copiah Academy: “A vision that sees beyond the years.”

Copiah has developed a 5-year strategic plan based on our Mission, Beliefs and Vision. A consulting team was engaged to lead and guide the school through the process. After a series of interviews with student, parent, faculty, administration, and school board focal groups to serve as our survey, the team recommended 3 strategic goals to be accomplished over the next 5 years with accompanying action steps in specific areas. The school spent
time reviewing the strategic goals and action steps. The action steps for each goal were reviewed and prioritized by the faculty, staff, and administration. For each action step the resources needed, the persons responsible, the timeline, and the appraisals were determined. The final strategic plan was reviewed, edited, and presented to the board of directors for final approval in September 2022.
