Integrity Institute

All students participate in the Integrity Institute. Conducted daily during the zero period, this program is designed to cover a broad range of topics, all of which would fall under the Four Principles of the Mission Statement:

  1. Developing the Heart of a Lion… becoming physically fit.
  2. Acquiring the Eye of the Tiger… becoming academically acute.
  3. Being Gentle as a Lamb… learning to be a selfless servant.
  4. How to Soar Like an Eagle… developing a mind for the Master

All lessons in the Integrity Institute are from a distinctively biblical perspective. However, over the course of the academic year, emphasis will be placed on developing a mind for the Master enabling this period to serve as chapel time and one of biblical studies.
