Life in Jesus and we speak life—speak truth, honoring in speech, mindful of the Lord listening. 2. Respect for everyone and from everyone—gracious words and actions of encouragement. 3. Jesus as the example in education, conduct, and behavior—to be like Christ is the goal. 4. Treating others the way we want to be treated—this is the golden rule. 5. The presence of the Holy Spirit everywhere in Eagle School International— always mindful of the presence of the Lord. 6. Integrity in school and outside of school—a consistent Christian testimony for staff and students. 7. Eagle as a place of safety and security—honor toward all, even in differences. 8. Serving with gratitude in our hearts—modeling and teaching a servant heart. 9. Easily teachable and correctable—speaking the truth in love and responding in love. 10. A culture of the rich love of the Lord toward one another—we always look for the way of love. 11. The authority of the family in the lives of the children—over the state or the school or the church. 12. Every student growing into the whole measure of the fullness of Christ— teaching, training, imparting, mentoring, releasing.
