Mission<br />

To help every girl explore her unique voice and to develop the<br />

skills, confidence, and courage to share it with the world.<br />

Values<br />

Respect<br />

Integrity<br />

Kindness<br />

Service<br />

Honor Code<br />

Foxcroft is a community built on trust. A Foxcroft girl is respectful of others and their property,<br />

dedicates herself to her academic pursuits, and models the School’s expectations both on and off<br />

school grounds. Every student in the Foxcroft community is expected to be honest in her academic<br />

work and in her interactions with members of the community. Lying, cheating, or stealing,<br />

including plagiarism and the use of any false identities, violates our honor code, is considered<br />

prohibited conduct, and will result in disciplinary action. Each year, our community members attend<br />

an Honor Assembly to sign the Honor Code, and actively participate in Honor Code<br />

discussions and activities about honor and academic integrity.<br />

Honor Pledge<br />

The Honor Pledge serves as a regular reminder to all members of the community that we have<br />

a shared responsibility to act with academic integrity in all of our work. Teachers will ask students<br />

to sign the pledge on a range of assignments, from tests and quizzes to essays and group<br />

projects. Expectations will be made clear to students in each faculty member’s course syllabus,<br />

assignment descriptions, and class announcements.<br />

I pledge that all work is my own, but any help I received is documented and in<br />

accordance with the expectations of my teacher.<br />

School Prayer<br />

Note: It is tradition at Foxcroft to say together the School prayer at events such as Convocation<br />

and Commencement and at Morning Meetings. At Foxcroft, we have students of many faith<br />

traditions and we honor and respect each girl’s beliefs. This prayer has its roots in the Christian<br />

faith, but today we say it as a reminder of how we want to treat one another and how we want to<br />

live in community together. It is a promise to one another.<br />

O God, grant to this School and Thy servants in it Thy holy protection for the ensuing day. Give us<br />

strength to resist temptations, to be honest and upright and to be faithful and loyal friends to all<br />

about us. Give us a cheerful spirit in our work and in our play. Grant us a clear vision and clean<br />

hearts and the grace to perform our daily tasks in Thy service, that we may go forth from our<br />

School in the light of Thy love, living always as Thy true children. Amen.<br />
