Vision of the Royal Falcon Bahá’í School
The Royal Falcon Bahá’í School hopes to evolve into a powerful centre
of Bahá’í learning by systematically widening its scope, raising its
standard, both intellectual and spiritual and developing into an
effective, and
increasingly vital, instrument for the propagation of the Faith.
Mission of the Royal Falcon Bahá’í School
The Royal Falcon Bahá’í School, as a tool for bringing to light
hitherto unsuspected capacities among the friends and strengthening
the unity of the Cause, aims for each participant, believer and
non-believer alike, adult, youth and child, to deepen his or her love
for the Faith and knowledge of its teachings.
This it hopes to accomplish by:
- Providing training in the history, principles and teachings of
the Cause and the applications to one's life of the principles of
moral conduct,
- Relating problems in the world to their wider aspect and thus
lifting them, and the participants, to a broader vision,
- Fostering the spirit of fellowship in a distinctly Bahá’í
atmosphere, and
- Heightening the prestige of the school in the eyes of the
friends and of the general public.
Standards
Since the purpose of the Bahá'í School is spiritual education,
obedience to the rules is expected by everyone in order to maintain an
orderly school environment and to preserve and enhance unity. The
Bahá'í School Committee has the expectation of courtesy, modesty and
cleanliness, and will firmly enforce that standard.
In order to maintain a spiritually invigorating, happy, and safe
atmosphere and to create a distinctive Bahá'í environment, these
standards have been set which all participants, as well as visitors to
our school, are expected to uphold. This includes respecting Bahá'í
laws, including refraining from backbiting, having no alcohol or
recreational drugs, following Bahá'í standards of chastity (refer to
Advent of Divine Justice, p. 25), and practicing attributes such as
courtesy and trustworthiness. Working together in a positive and
cooperative manner helps provide an enriching experience for all. We
are so happy you are here, and we hope you have a memorable stay and
will return again.
Class Attendance
Everyone is expected to attend scheduled classes at Bahá'í School. All
classes for adults, youth, junior youth, and children are at the
Beachside Conference Center.
Child Supervision
Parents or sponsors are responsible for ensuring that their children
attend all classes at school. For their safety and well-being,
children under age 12 must be under the direct supervision of their
parent (or adult designated by the parent) during meal times, free
times, and evenings, unless participating in an organized school
activity. This is especially important if children are involved in
swimming or other active sports. Pre-youth and youth may be considered
responsible for themselves, but parents or sponsors should know their
whereabouts and planned activities at all times.
Meals
All meals will be served at the hotel. YOU MUST BE WEARING YOUR NAME
TAG TO BE SERVED FOR ALL MEALS.
Dress Code
Modest dress in accordance with Baha'i standards is required. Do not
wear clothing with inappropriate slogans.
Closed Campus
The purpose of a closed campus is to minimize the distractions and
outside influences that would inevitably occur when traffic in and out
of the school is unlimited. If you must leave the school (the hotel or
the beach area), please inform one of the security persons or a
committee member. It is important for the staff to know the
whereabouts of everyone in attendance at the school for safety
reasons.
Curfew
Curfew is at midnight, when ALL participants of the school are
expected to be in their own rooms and remain there throughout the
night.
