Colegio Menor is a community of many individuals who seek to develop universal values.  These core values represent our aspirations for behavior.  Above all, respect forms the foundation for a peaceful and orderly environment where learning can flourish.  We expect all members of the Colegio Menor community, adults and students, to uphold the founding principles of the school: goodness, beauty, and truth, and to adhere to the Code of Honor, both inside and outside the school community.

We, as members of the Colegio Menor community, strive to:

• Interact with fairness toward others.
• Take responsibility for our own learning and for all that we say or do.
• Make honesty a priority in life by acting truthfully and with integrity at all times.
• Respect ourselves, others, others’ privacy, property, and the environment.
• Make and honor commitments and practice self-discipline and self-control.
• Achieve personal excellence in all endeavors through perseverance and pride in our performance.
• Act with empathy, caring, and generosity for others and exercise goodwill toward them.
• Reflect on and integrate knowledge and experience to achieve understanding and wisdom.
• Speak and behave with tolerance toward women and men of all races, religions, and cultures, as well as toward individuals whose beliefs, opinions, and lifestyles differ from our own.

In upholding the Code of Honor, students will:

• Encourage classmates to uphold the Code of Honor.
• Cooperate with school authorities during any investigation of a violation of the Code of Honor. (During the investigation of serious offenses, Colegio Menor reserves the right to search lockers, backpacks, and the personal effects of students.)
