Intellectual honesty is a virtue that influences how we use the knowledge that we have. Students build a foundation of knowledge and understanding that inspires confidence and reflects a heart of integrity.

One practicing virtuous fair-mindedness earnestly seeks to know truth and is willing to listen to differing opinions, even when these stand in contrast to one’s own firmly held views on a subject.

Dot your i’s and cross your t’s.  Double-check and make sure. It is this meticulous attention to detail that can slowly but surely cultivate habits that serve our students for years to come.

Curiosity drives us to know truth, to understand the universe and our place in it, and to more fully grasp the mind and heart of God. 

Only the one who is truly intellectually humble will be free to experience the joy of knowledge and insight regardless of where it may be found.  He lives in a world full of depth and richness, unencumbered by the weight of pride and ego. She values truth over her own need to be right. 

When courage puts its feet to the ground, what does it look like? A soldier on the battlefield risking his life for his comrades.  A missionary speaking the truth despite the consequences which might result. A third-grade student raising her hand to ask a question about a concept she does not yet fully understand.
