Standards for Character and Ethics
Slavens’ character and ethics standards will respect parents’ primary role in their child’s education. These standards promote courage, confidence, diligence, responsibility, fairness, and self-reliance. They also teach the rights and responsibilities of good citizenship.

REPORT orally or in writing on a real life hero.

Children will be able to:
