The SEI Standards

Mission statements, vision statements, slogans and credos are displayed on walls and web sites all over for-profit and non-profit America. Some are poignant, some are pathetic. We think that too often they are just words that are pointed to now and then. Not here. Students and staff live by the SEI standards from the moment they walk through our doors.

The Preamble

The SEI Standards are founded upon the principles of Integrity and Respect. Integrity because integrity exemplifies truthfulness, modesty and trustworthiness. Respect because respect exemplifies courtesy, honor and reverence.

 

The Standards
