Teacher's Creed

I will exercise my will power daily, when I urge to action for any purpose and I will form habits designed to bring the power of my will into action at least once a day.

I will recognize the need for sound plans and ideas for the attainment of my god.

I will develop my imagination by calling upon it daily for help in the formation of my plans.

I will recognize that my emotions often err in their enthusiasm, and my faculty of reason often is without warmth of feeling that is necessary to enable me to combine justice with mercy in my judgments.

I will encourage my conscience to guide as to what is right and wrong, but I will never set aside the verdicts it renders,  what may be the cost of carry them out.

I will show my unconditional love to my student by giving them the proper discipline and teaching them to the best of my knowledge and ability.

Above all, I will put all my trust in the Lord, embracing him as my superior Supreme being and recognizing His divine love, that without him Golden Harvest International School will not be of existence.

Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Pledge of Allegiance to the Christian Flag

I pledge allegiance to the Christian Flag, and to the savior for whose kingdom it stands, one savior crucified risen and coming again with life and liberty to all who believes.

Pledge of Allegiance to the Bible

I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God’s holy word.  I will make it a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.  I will hide each word in my heart that I might not sin against God.
