Student Honor Code

River City Believers Academy is a Christian school and holds faculty, staff and students to a biblically-based code of conduct. We celebrate new life when students respond to the Holy Spirit and enter into restored relationship with the Father through the sacrificial work of Jesus of the cross. We believe that spiritual redemption will bear fruit in the life of a Christian as an outward reflection of inner heart change. We are thankful for the unchanging love and unending grace that the Father extends, and we uphold this code of conduct based on these pillars:

Students will pursue a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ and will commit to reflect this relationship through their character (2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Timothy 4:12-16).
Students will apply themselves wholeheartedly to their academic studies and will do their very best work on all classroom assignments, projects, homework, quizzes and tests, and any other scholarly applications (Colossians 3:23).
Students will conduct their school work with integrity and honor and will not copy, cheat or plagiarize the work of others (Exodus 20:15-16).
Students will respectfully submit themselves to the authority, counsel, and discipline of the staff, teachers and administrators of River City Believers Academy (Ephesians 4:22-24).
Students will apply God's principles of love, care, and concern for fellow students and teachers. Students will not intentionally harass, bully, intimidate or harm, physically or emotionally, fellow students (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).
Students will care for their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. Students will refrain from the use of any type of tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs or other habits that may cause harm to their bodies or their minds (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
Students will honor God with their bodies by pursuing sexual purity and will uphold biblical standards that protect spirit, soul and body by abstaining from immoral sexual activity and inappropriate relationships (1 Corinthians 6:12-18).
Students will refrain from involvement in any type of illegal activity or behavior at school or away from school (2 Corinthians 6:16).
Students agree to support all RCBA policy and procedures set forth in the Parent-Student Handbook including the Student Honor Code and dress code (Titus 3:1-2).
