Jodex College Core Values

In pursuit of its mission the Jodex College is guided by two major core values, each of which is given its foundational meaning in developmentally appropriate ways throughout our students’ years on campus. We recognize as our core values: the Academic Excellence, a Balance between Individual Achievement and a Caring Community. These two core values govern the implementation of our curriculum and programs across all divisions of Jodex College.

Mature Behavior

As a core value Mature Behavior requires thoughtful translation at each grade level for our students, who range in age from three to eighteen years old. Over time, mature behavior is defined in broadening terms, from notions of civility and resourceful cooperation to the ultimate ethic inherent in personal integrity. Good sportsmanship, honest scholarship, and intellectual honesty are embedded in the principles of learning on which the School’s mission rests. These principles inform the rules and regulations by which all students are obligated to abide. At all times our students are expected to take on leadership roles both within and outside of the classroom, and to make responsible choices.

Mutual Respect

Mutual respect and the tolerance it engenders undergird our community’s embrace of both intellectual diversity and the diversity of culture, ethnicity, gender, race, sexual orientation, and socio-economic background on our campus. Our students, staff, and faculty hail from many different corners of the earth and from various walks of life. Our students are expected to grasp, in keeping with the precepts of humane learning, that tolerance fosters the trust necessary to make our School safe and sound as a place to explore, to question, and at times to challenge ideas and traditions that have shaped our world; and that they can do so in the sure knowledge that they will be respected.

A Secure and Healthful Environment

Jodex College aims to provide a secure physical, social, and emotional environment for all students. The campuses of all five divisions are committed to using resources in an ecologically sound and sustainable manner. The physical plant is carefully maintained and upgraded to the highest security standards. Our Security staff safeguards and monitors the campus, and fire and safety drills are conducted on a regular basis. Our food service offers varied and plentiful healthy food choices daily and all students have a scheduled lunch period during their day. Care for students’ social and emotional health is provided by our guidance professionals, who offer a carefully calibrated sequence of age-appropriate programs and courses aimed at creating and maintaining an environment free from harassment and bullying.

A Balance between Individual Achievement and a Caring Community

In its pedagogy Jodex College School seeks to balance the demands of an academically rigorous curriculum with the moral imperative to raise good scholars and good citizens, caring and socially responsible students whose awareness of the wider world will inspire them throughout their lives to service to others. The School leads by example, actively sharing resources with its neighbors in the Alimosho local government area and beyond. Spearheaded by our community oriented curriculum, all grade levels seek to foster in our students a capacity for selfless dedication to the greater good. Our students learn to take an increasingly active role in designing, implementing, and reflecting on community service projects
