Character Training We share with parents in the goal of training our homeschooled students to be role models and leaders in our community and in the world. Students should strive for excellence in their character by pursuing Godly characteristics including kindness, Christ-like love for others, obedience, responsibility, integrity, respect, thankfulness and truthfulness. Facilities Students will respect the property of the facility. Defaced or damaged property is to be replaced at the student’s expense. Students will honor the graciousness of the church staff and members. Students are not allowed to roam the grounds or buildings unsupervised at any time.

Dress Code Students will dress in modest and neat attire. Shorts and skirts must be longer than the tip of fingers when measured with arms straight down. Shorts must be worn under skirts. Ripped clothing is prohibited. T-shirts or other clothing with inappropriate messages are prohibited. It is our desire that all students’ appearance will present a Christian testimony.

Conduct and Attitude Students should arrive by 8:45 for opening assembly. Tardiness for assembly or class is disrespectful and disruptive. We require respectful behavior in the classroom towards the teachers, staff,and fellow students. Note passing, texting, talking out of turn in class and inattentiveness are not allowed. IPADS, cell phones, laptops and other internet-capable devicesmust be left at home or kept turned off in the student’s bag, or they will be taken and returned to the parent.Students should always be prepared for class with all needed supplies and with an attitude of respect for others and eagerness to learn!

Discipline Procedures At the time of a student’s first offense of any conduct code, the student will be sent to the Director. The students will be counseled of expected changes in behavior and their parent will be called. If a second offense occurs, the student will be suspended for one class period and their parent will be called. Any subsequent offenses will result in the removal of the child from the program.
