Attendance
The focus of SOULS West is to train gifted and proven students in the area of leadership. Therefore, we feel that attendance and punctuality is the responsibility of the student, and when unsatisfactory, these will be dealt with on an individual basis.
Curfew
Curfew is tentatively set for 10 p.m. Quiet time in the dorms begins at 9:30 p.m.
Dress Code
Dress is truly individualistic. Each person has a right to his or her own likes and dislikes. SOULS West, however, reserves the right to require certain dress standards.
Due to the unique nature of this school, its environment, work, and ministry, students are asked to use the following dress code:
- Neat: Clean, ironed clothes and impeccable personal hygiene (daily showers, hair well-groomed, etc.).
- Professional: First impressions make lasting impressions and are extremely important as Christians and for door-to-door sales. Because of this, students are asked to dress professionally during school and off-campus work.
- Men: Cool slacks (no jeans), collared shirts (no large advertisement emblems on shirts such as those associated with rock bands, colas, sports, etc.). No jewelry, please.
- Women: Dresses, skirts (loose-fitting, full-length dresses or skirts are encouraged), blouses with sleeves, (no large advertisement emblems on shirts such as previously listed above). No jewelry, please.
Modesty
Modesty is a part of the Christian life and in this area they should be particularly separated from worldly dress. Clothes should not be tight fitting or revealing in any way. This is not only very important for personal safety on the streets, but it is also important to help others follow Philippians 4:8. Shorts worn outside of the classroom or during non-work hours must be loose fitting and cover the thigh.
Our belief in Christ’s death and soon coming separates the Christian from the world. This is shown in all aspects of life. Dress is a major area which distinguishes a Christian as different. Students are asked to study dress and its principles from the Bible and Ellen G. White's writings.
