Core Values

1. Academic Excellence : The principal task of the school is to teach academics from a Christian worldview so that the students are encouraged to develop a love for God, a love for learning, and the ability to function in the modern world in which we live. Education is to be formal and meet the highest possible standards of excellence, using all God-given resources available.

2. Biblical World-View: Everything connected with the school will be done so as to give honor and glory to the One Triune God who offers redemption to all through His Son Jesus Christ. All full-time teachers will be professing Christians who are confident of their faith, who freely and sensitively integrate it into the discussion of any subject matter, and who model a Christ-changed life through their relations with each other and all students. It is recognized that each student has a right to make his or her own religious choices; therefore no student will be coerced into embracing a Christian worldview.

3. English-Language, American-Style Curriculum: In order for students to make a successful transition into academics in the United States, the American style of education will be adhered to using primarily U.S.A. qualified teachers or the equivalent following a basic American-style curriculum in English. A limited Advanced Placement program will be the ultimate goal of the academic program

4. Host Country Relations: The school will seek to conform to locally mandated guidelines for the school's operation. These include instruction in the Spanish language and Panamanian culture and history. The school will seek to develop students with an appreciation of the host country and equip them with sufficient skills to enable them to function in the host country.

5. Christian Ethics: Every child entering the school will be expected to abide by rules and regulations representing basic Christian morals.

6. Church Related: The School Board will work to fulfill the stated purpose of the school within the policies of the Crossroads Bible Church, its sponsoring body.
