The Logos Program of Elk Island Public Schools follows these 7 basic Principles:

1. God is our Creator who knows and loves each one of us.
2. God has provided through the Bible, certain values, standards of behavior and fundamental truths, particularly in passages such as the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) and the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5,6 and 7). These values, standards of behavior and fundamental truths are to guide us in living out our lives. Truth is not relative and, therefore, not based simply on each person's opinion.
3. Although we all make mistakes or commit sins, we can be forgiven because Jesus, the Son of God, offered Himself as payment for our sins and is alive today to strengthen us through His Holy Spirit. Just as He forgives us for our sins, so must we forgive others who hurt us or sin against us.
4. We are on this earth to love God and serve Him by caring for a serving our fellow human beings. We are not meant to live merely for our own pleasure and self-interest.
5. God works in our lives and in the lives of those around us and throughout the world, as we spend time with Him in prayer.
6. The Old and New Testaments of the Bible, without error as originally give, were inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of mankind. They are useful for teaching, correction, and instruction in righteousness.  (2 Timothy 3:16&17)
7. There is One God, eternally existing in three persons: God the Father, Jesus Christ His only Son, and the Holy Spirit.  (Acts 2:32-33; 5:29-32; 10:38)
