A disciplined environment is necessary for three important aspects of Lee Christian School:

1.  Our environment must be nurturing in the sense that Christianity will be evident and paramount over the many negative influences that our youth face.  We believe that caring Christians should make provision for a program that elevates Christ over culture and self (Matthew 28:18, Luke 11:28, Luke 16:15, John 12:32)

2.  Respect is necessary to maintain a learning environment.  Chaotic conditions and unrestrained behavior provoke a lack of respect for education and lead to disrespect of oneself.  Instilling a love for learning is a primary goal for all teachers, parents, and students (I Corinthians 6:20, I Corinthians 7:31).

3.  Safety is of utmost importance.  All of our students have the right to work and play in an environment that assures their families of safety.  No intimidation or dangerous "horseplay" will be tolerated (Proverbs 22:3)
