HONOR CODE OF CONDUCT (Elementary)
One of the goals of NFCS is to teach and demonstrate honorable conduct. There are certain life characteristics which are foundational for success in life. Each member of the NFCS family is expected to act honorably at all times. Those foundational principles are:
• I will not lie.
• I will not cheat.
• I will not steal.

Those are the expectations that we have of everyone associated with our school. Students who violate those foundational areas will be referred to the Principal.

We believe that teaching these core character traits are vital for each child's future success in life. They are not only matters for knowledge, but also matters of the 'heart.' At North Florida Christian School, these Honor Code traits will be emphasized and expected of all members of the NFCS family.

HONOR CODE OF CONDUCT (Middle School/High School)
A person of character is said to have many qualities, some of which we define here as:

Trustworthy
•Honesty - Tell the truth. Don’t deceive or mislead. Don’t steal or cheat.
• Integrity - Possess the right beliefs in what is right and wrong and not be ashamed to be different for the sake of right living.
• Promise keeping - Keep your word. Honor your commitments.
• Loyalty - Support your family, your church, and your school. Don’t violate Biblical principles to keep or win a friendship.

Respectful
• Be courteous and polite.
• Be tolerant of those who may be different from you.
• Don’t manipulate or take advantage of others.

Act Responsibly
• Accountable - Accept responsibility for the choices you make and their consequences. Don’t make excuses, or blame others for your mistakes.
• Pursue Excellence - Do your best. Keep trying and don’t quit or give up easily. Be diligent and industrious.
• Self-Control - Exercise self-control. Be disciplined. People who are disciplined and demonstrates self-control would restrain themselves from any type of cheating.

Fair and Just
• Treat all people fairly. Be open-minded. Listen to others and what they are saying.

Caring
• Kindness - Show you care about others, through kindness, caring, and compassion. Live by the Golden Rule. Be charitable and not insensitive.

Good Citizenship
• Play by the rules and obey all laws. Respect authority. Help your community, which includes the school.

Each person in the NFCS community is responsible for these character attitudes and actions as a part of the North Florida Christian School Honor Code of Conduct. Being honest is an agreement that implies faith and trust in each other. Adherence not only includes refraining from such conduct as lying, stealing, and cheating, but also requires that one understands the type of conduct that is acceptable and also those prohibited by the code. While honor is a value, being honorable is a decision that must be made time and time again.

It is essential for everyone’s growth that all dishonorable conduct be identified and appropriately dealt with. Each person has a responsibility to discourage dishonorable conduct and to report any acts of such conduct. When a violation occurs, it is the duty of every student and teacher not to tolerate such behavior. Upon becoming aware of such a violation, one should report it to a member of the school administration, a teacher, or a member of the Honor Committee.
