At Agapé Boarding School we are, with the Holy Spirit's help, trying to develop a self-disciplined teenager who is submissive to the Word Of God and the Will of God. We work with the student to help form good habits in the students, such as: A cheerful obedience to authority; responsibility in doing assigned or expected tasks; cooperation with others in work or play; courtesy and respect for others; cleanliness in person and property; truthfulness and honesty in work and life; promptness in attendance and assignments; morally good conduct in respect to language, recreation, and social relationships; and respect due to parents in communication by mail or telephone. There are certain rules that are necessary for efficient operation of the school. Every student attending Agapé Boarding School must operate within the framework of the school's rules and policies.
STUDENT CONDUCT
Students are expected to conduct themselves in such a manner as is becoming of a Christian. Each student should remember that their behavior reflects not only the school, the church, their family, and themselves, but also the Savior. Students should place Jesus Christ first in all thoughts and actions. They should maintain a consistent testimony and dedicate themselves to the will of God. Worldly habits, disrespect for the staff or school, a sullen or negative attitude, or any other evidence of a lack of cooperation is not permitted.
DORM CONDUCT
Dorm Rules are listed in each dorm or division. Every student must become familiar with these rules as rules are added or changed often. All rules should be obeyed at all times. If one or more rules are broken, there will be a discipline for each broken rule.
HAIRCUTS
Hair will be worn off the ears and off the collar (tapered sides), and back. All haircuts must meet the approval of the Agapé staff. We believe a man should look like a man. The Bible says "it is a shame for a man to have long hair". This is why we do not allow long hair on our students. This rule is upheld by our staff and administration.
CLOTHING
Worldly clothing is not allowed to be worn by our students. We require our students to be dressed in Agapé attire. The attire is supplied to the students by Agapé , except for work jeans. Work jeans cannot be baggy. They should be the correct size and length. Any work jeans deemed inappropriate will be sent back to the student's home. The jeans should be "Rustler" Jeans, purchased at Wal-Mart.
PACKAGES
All packages shall be addressed to Agapé Boarding School and include the student's name. ADDRESS PACKAGES TO YOUR SON LIKE THIS:
Please remember: Never send food, candy, magazines, or items that contain alcohol, radios, television, handheld electrical games, etc., to a student. Items that are deemed inappropriate by the administration will be sent back to the student's home at the parent's or guardian's expense.
