At the heart of life at Episcopal is the Episcopal Honor Code that is signed by all administrators, faculty and Upper School students and is included as a part of the school enrollment contract. The core values of the Episcopal Honor Code, respect and honesty, are incorporated into four key statements which all members of our community must uphold: respect yourself and others, take care of Episcopal’s environment and materials, be honest and fair, and respect others’ rights to learn. All three divisions support the understanding of and adherence to the code in age-appropriate ways. The honor code is crucial for the maintenance of a healthy and trusting community.

The Episcopal Honor Code 

  • I shall be honest in all matters regarding the life of the School. My word may always be trusted, and I will always strive to be fair.
  • I will always respect others.
  • I will not undermine our life together.
  • I will not steal or deface that which belongs to another.
  • I will ensure that my actions do not infringe upon the rights of others, particularly the right that others have to learn.
  • I will do all I can to defend and uphold this Code and will always be ready to explain to others, especially those new to the School, that its existence is at the heart of the quality of our life together.
