Character Education

Teaching about values is becoming one of the most important aspects of education worldwide.

What’s it like out there in the world? There is…

  • Security concern
  • Lack of ethics
  • Indifference towards values
  • Lack of a sense of belonging
  • Lack of taking responsibility

Why? Because we are living in a world that can sometimes be...

  • Superficial
  • In a hurry
  • Made up of a different family structure
  • Lacking coherence
  • Permissive
  • Losing the significance of human interaction
  • Losing the significance of the interaction between human and nature

 

SAFE

The School Addiction Free Environment program at the JFK is designed to help students make good decisions about their bodies and give them strategies in dealing with things like peer pressure.

Positive discipline

Code of Conduct

JFK is committed to offering a safe educational environment that challenges the students to achieve their greatest potential. Students, parents, teachers, staff and administrators are valued members of the JFK community in their different roles, diverse backgrounds and beliefs. Everyone is entitled to express themselves in a respectful and proper manner.

Students and staff must follow this code of conduct at all times and in all places:

  • Behave in such a way that it brings honor upon the name of your school.
  • Be responsible for your words and actions within and out of the school and understand that every improper conduct has consequences.
  • Do your best to be better every day; seeking academic excellence and personal development.
  • Respect other people; their rights, their property and their differences. Protect the environment - including our school facilities. We all live here.
  • Always tell the truth.
  • Care for others, do not physically or psychologically harass or intimidate any person.
  • Take good care of yourself; your body, your mind and your belongings.
  • Resolve every conflict in a peaceful and rational manner.

JFK believes that all its members should be held responsible for their behavior and accept the consequences of their actions.

School Philosophy

The goal of discipline rules and procedures is to create a system which ensures that all students are given the opportunity to study in an environment which is conducive to learning and which develops attitudes in students responsible for their own behavior.

This implies the creation of a set of behavioral standards that are age appropriate, and in keeping with a sense of responsibility, integrity, and respect for self and others.

To achieve this goal, we need the cooperation of students, parents, the Principal, psychologists and teachers -in general, anyone who is involved in the children's education.

We must remember that we are the most important role models that our students have. It is a big responsibility as well as a great opportunity to make a positive difference in their lives.

We invite all parents to become familiar with the policies and regulations of the school. All of us at school, including your sons and daughters, are already well aware of them and work hard to meet the desired standards for behavior.

Principals are committed to being consistent and fair in the implementation of discipline and encourage teachers to maintain a positive atmosphere within the classroom setting. The establishment of an orderly environment that is conducive to learning is a goal that we strive to attain from the very first week of school within all sections of the school.

Zero Tolerance to Aggression

Our school cannot allow, even at the Pre-school level, students to cause physical harm to others. In our experience, when the school and the home work together looking for alternatives to solve a problem, there are quick positive results. We want our school to be a safe place for all students where they can have a chance to feel accepted.
