STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

A Christian school should have an atmosphere that is conducive to the spiritual growth and development of its students. The following standards are necessary so that such an atmosphere can be present at MCS. Rebellion or antagonism toward these standards demonstrates a desire to no longer be associated with Mentor Christian School.

Good behavior must come from the heart in love and obedience to Jesus Christ and should not be mere conformity to man-made regulations. However, in order to remain at MCS, our young men and women are expected to observe the following general items of conduct:

1. Respect the authority of those who are over them and graciously accept correction.

2. Honor, respect, and obey parents, teachers, staff, and civil authorities.

3. Attend regularly a Bible-teaching and preaching church.

4. Seek to spend personal time with the Lord each day in Bible reading and prayer.

5. Seek to be an example of the believers in everything they do.

6. Seek to serve others in a spirit of humility.

7. Seek to be a verbal witness and testimony to the lost.

8. Adhere to the dress standards of the school.

9. Abstain from listening to ungodly music or influencing other students to do so.

10. Abstain from attending or participating in dances, rock concerts, etc.

11. Abstain from the use or possession of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs.

12. Refrain from any physical contact with the opposite sex. Couples should seek to limit any appearance of evil by avoiding situations where they are alone together.

13. Respect the property of the school and of others.

14. Refrain from lying, cheating, stealing, and obscene or suggestive language, gestures, jokes, or materials.

15. Refrain from viewing and discussing unwholesome forms of entertainment that go against biblical morals and decency.

Christians need to maintain high standards of courtesy and kindness, morality and honesty. We desire our young people to provide good examples of leadership to their peers and to younger students.

I will seek to live in accordance with the above standards of conduct.
