MLS Family Code
As a student at MLS and child of God, I am committed to…
- Stand up for what is God-pleasing, not let the school suffer because of peer pressure
- Hold a higher standard for myself than others, not be a hypocrite
- Treat others with dignity, not embarrass or humiliate
- Earn respect, not demand it
- Show respect, not create disorder by undermining authority
- Deal privately before publicly, neither run to authorities nor gossip as a first step
- Remember that I, too, am a sinner loved by my Lord, not conform to the ways of the world but seek and apply guidance from God’s Word
As a student at MLS, I have a right to expect…
- Respect for my person, my possessions and my feelings
- Discipline when I am wrong that is fair and for my good, and that is done out of Christian love
- Full use of my time and opportunities for worship, study, meals, recreation and sleep
- Nothing for myself that is not right for others
As an upperclassman at MLS I have a special responsibility to…
- Set a positive example as a leader on campus, not lead others astray
- Use authority only when other responsible people will support me, not go off on my own
- Discipline in Christian love, not intimidate or use physical force
- Be able to explain and defend my actions to anyone, not act before I think
