Lifelong Guidelines and LIFESKILLS

Our students experience learning opportunities, which connect to specific skills for life. Our school focuses on one LIFESKILL each month. Students learn, practice and apply the skills to the classroom and real-life situations. Each morning students recite our Lifelong Guideline pledge: “I promise to be faith-filled, trustworthy, truthful and an active-listener too. I will do my personal best, and give no-put downs to any of you.” These guidelines work in conjunction with the LIFESKILLS to build responsible, Christian citizens.
