Statement of Purpose

An honor code is a statement of the values and character qualities a community considers important to its well-being. It serves as a reminder of how we believe people should act toward others. It forms a framework for the rules and policies by which we live. It gives us a visual symbol of who we have chosen to be as the XIS community. Our honor code is a declaration of who we are. At XIS we want to show the following qualities in our behavior toward our schoolwork, our classmates, our teachers, our administrators, and all who visit the XIS campus as our guests.
