In order to fulfill the aim and purpose of Koinonia Academy, we have identified eight character qualities that we believe reflect the character of Jesus Christ and which will help our students develop solid Christian character. These character qualities are the foundation for our courses that are given at every grade level and are called “Christian Character Formation” (CCF). Every student agrees to strive to acquire these character traits during his or her time at Koinonia Academy. See below for a brief description of each quality, together with an appropriate Scriptural quote:
A Koinonia student is free from disturbance, with an inner calm and quiet.
Proverbs 1:33 - “But he who obeys Me dwells in security, in peace, without fear of harm.”
A Koinonia student is industrious, hard-working and steady in effort, in order to accomplish goals.
Proverbs 10:4 - “The slack hand impoverishes, but the hand of the diligent enriches.”
A Koinonia student is happy, with a sense of well-being and inner gladness.
Proverbs 15:30 - “A cheerful glance brings joy to the head; good news invigorates the bones.”
A Koinonia student is willing to work in unity with others (classmates and faculty) for a common goal, and follows directions.
Philippians 2:2 - “Complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love, united in heart, thinking one thing.”
A Koinonia student exhibits truthfulness and honesty in his dealings with others.
Proverbs 11:3 - “The honesty of the upright guides them; the faithless are ruined by their duplicity.”
A Koinonia student shows honor and respect in actions toward teachers, adults, and fellow students. He respects school property and the property of others.
Exodus 20:12,15 - “Honor your father and your mother,” “You shall not steal.”
A Koinonia student participates in the life of the school, its spiritual life (charismatic prayer, active, not passive), and its academic life (classroom participation).

A Koinonia student projects and promotes a positive example to fellow students and is obedient to all staff and to all school agreements.
