Discipline 
As a school we have adopted a form of interaction with students that we believe is Biblical and views each child as an individual image bearer of God. This approach handles discipline differently than a completely behavioristic program. Relationships with students and getting to the heart are ultimately more valuable than simply changing a students behavior temporarily. Our rules and values have not changed, just our approach to how we address choices that are made about those rules. We believe they should LOVING and LOGICALLY connect the choices to the consequence.
