Core Values

List of 5 items.

  • Truth

    A Christ-centered education invites its students to consider Him who is all Truth, as Creator, Savior, and Lord over all of the domains of life. An educational climate and culture where truth is championed enables students to think critically in the classroom and in life.

    Scriptures: John 8:31, 14:6, 17:7, and Daniel 1:8

  • Excellence

    The Hartfield student in pursuit of excellence will know the standards and principles of “what is good” from a Biblical perspective. He or she will be taught that it is by His grace that we acquire excellence through the exercising of the talents and resources He has given us, so that we may glorify Him in all things.

    Scriptures: Titus 3:8, Psalm 8:1, I Peter 2:9, I Peter 4:11, I Corinthians 10:31, and Colossians 3:17

  • Service

    The Hartfield student will be taught that service to others is the key to greatness.

    Scriptures: Ephesians 6:7, John 12:26, Galatians 5:13, Philippians 2:1-3, and Daniel 3:17, 1:40, 6:20.

  • Leadership

    Leadership starts with learning how to lead oneself in wise character choices. Furthermore, part of the Hartfield experience is equipping our students with the principles, precepts and practices of leadership, so that a Hartfield student may be salt and light in the leadership roles he will assume in the future.

    Scriptures: Romans 12:8, Matthew 5:13-16, Daniel 1:17-21, and Daniel 2:48-49

  • Honor

    A culture of honor starts first with giving our all to Jesus Christ knowing that He is the source of our lives. To honor others in the light and grace of God’s love, we consider others above ourselves by seeking their betterment and growth in Him. By placing others first, we honor them and our God. Scriptures: Leviticus 19:32, Exodus 20:12, Romans 13:1; I Samuel 2:30, I Peter 2:17, and Ephesians 6:1-3
