Character Counts

As Aristotle once said,"When we do good things, we become good people."

Here at JEMS, students are not only prepared academically, but held accountable for their actions involving other students, teachers, administrators and adults. Character isn't what we think, it's what we do.  After every morning announcement, there is a message about how character relates to our daily lives.  The pillars of character at the entrance to the school stand as a daily reminder to all  who pass.  Students at JEMS are praised and acknowledged for their positive attitudes and deeds once a quarter during Community Central Assembly.  Below is the criteria for their conduct in school and at all school events.

Do what you are supposed to do • Persevere: keep on trying! • Always do your best • Use self-control • Be self-disciplined • Think before you act - consider the consequences • Be accountable for your choices

Be kind • Be compassionate and show you care • Express gratitude • Forgive others • Help people in need

Be honest • Don’t deceive, cheat or steal • Be reliable - do what you say you’ll do • Have the courage to do the right thing • Build a good reputation • Be loyal - stand by your family, friends and country
