MISSION:

It is the mission and purpose of the Carden Country School to glorify God by providing a traditional, Christ-centered education that will nurture students to become spiritually minded, academically versed, socially balanced and equipped to make a positive impact in their community. In order to fulfill our mission, we agree to live according the following.

STANDARDS:

1) We agree to respect the property, feelings and ideas of others.
Unfailing practice of the Golden Rule results in your being the kind of person that you can respect, and self-respect is vital to your success as an individual. We will strive always to avoid a sense of waste or unwise extravagance of either time or materials.

2) We agree to think before we speak, and to sort our thoughts and put into words only that which will contribute something positive to those around us. "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things." - Philippians 4:8

3) We agree that orderly thinking is necessary for success, and that to be orderly on the inside, one must also be orderly on the outside. Order and self control are key factors in the learning process, and we will strive to develop self-control and a sense of order. "The content of your paper shows what you know. The neat and stylish manner in which you put it on the paper shows your respect for that gift of knowledge." - Mae Carden

4) We agree that courtesy will always rule our actions. "Courtesy is not just a surface display of manners, but kindness, respect and thoughtfulness toward others that is genuine and habitual." -Mae Carden

5) We agree that improvement is NOT optional. In order to guarantee improvement, we will always actively participate in all class lessons and school activities. We agree that production is a key to learning and will always strive to a level of production that is commensurate with the knowledge and skills that we have been taught. Our high expectations are based upon a constant recognition of the true nature of man as made in the image and likeness of God.

6) We agree that caring for someone includes holding them to their highest level of performance and behavior until they have achieved the level of self-discipline necessary to hold themselves there. "The one ingredient common to every successful person is self-discipline." -Jane Jones

7) We agree to always be appreciative of and loyal to our family.
