- We will always begin class with prayer. Always be respectful if not prayerful.
- Always be respectful of the subject material, the teacher, the other students, the classroom, and yourself.
- Textbooks must be properly taken care of or you pay at the end of the year.
- Only one person in the room should be talking at any given time
- Questions are encouraged. Be prepared for in depth answers.
- Come with an open heart and mind. Boredom comes from within, not from without. A Christian should never be bored!
- Students may help themselves to Kleenex, book covers, the pencil sharpener, tape and the stapler without asking. But please, only use them at appropriate times.
