It is the desire of this school to promote the principles of the Kingdom of God: to enable each individual, staff member or student, to grow as a son or daughter of God. We hope to embrace this Code of Behavior as the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. It is not intended to be a code of judgment; rather it is an ideal, which serves to point the way to a fuller relationship with Him.
Respect/Honor “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 19:19
- We will consider others’ needs as well as our own. The Lord calls us to express love and respect to each individual.
- We will conduct ourselves with respect towards fellow students, teachers, and staff members. We will honor them as sons and daughters of God.
- We will carry ourselves with respect and demonstrate it in our dress and outward behavior.
- We will respect school and classroom rules and seek to uphold them. We will not be afraid to question situations in which rules seem inappropriately applied; yet we will seek to do so with respect, honoring those in authority.
- We will respect the environment we are in, conducting ourselves in a manner appropriate to the occasion (attentiveness in the classroom, honor in prayer, etc.).
Speech “Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say may do good to those who hear you.” Ephesians 4:29
- We will aim at bringing our speech under control, realizing our tongue has the power to either build up or destroy.
- We will speak respectfully, even when we are in disagreement with a person or situation.
- We will avoid tearing down others; we will seek to encourage with our speech.
- We will honor the Lord’s name. We will avoid crude and disrespectful speech.
Integrity “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8
- We will actively seek the right thing to do and not the easiest thing.
- We will receive credit only for our own work; we will not use the work of others to cover our own shortcomings.
- We will pursue the truth, because it sets us free. We will not be afraid to confront the truth, even when it may be difficult to embrace.
