Code of Conduct
The following are guidelines which establish a consistent code of conduct throughout all grades at Lakeway Christian Schools so students may exemplify Christ in their actions and attitudes. “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.” Philippians 4:8
