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....
