Conduct and Discipline

Shoreless Lake School will provide an environment conducive to the spiritual growth and development of young people. A standard of conduct is necessary to provide such an environment. A Christian should endeavor to avoid practices that decrease his sensitivity to his spiritual needs in the world and/or endanger his physical, mental, or spiritual well-being.

A Code of Honor has been established to regulate student behavior in our school. This Code of Honor is compulsory for both commuting and boarding students. A student may be expelled from the School for violating the Code of Honor in any serious manner.
