Integrity of Character
CrossTalk allows its students to discover that honesty and respect are the way to success, and that cheating, in all its forms, will only lead to self-destruction and to negative consequences on others. Hence, students are encouraged to avoid the trap of cheating, lying, and gossiping. They are also taught to respect copyrighted material
Ecumenism
Ecumenical education at CrossTalk aims to enlighten and enrich its students, who come from a variety of backgrounds, to follow Jesus Christ together as one Body, to appreciate each other’s unique church traditions, and hence, to embrace diversity within unity
At CrossTalk, Christians from different denominations meet in the Lord’s name, leading us to love one another the way Christ commanded us in John 15. CrossTalk is not a substitute for a parish. CrossTalk encourages its members and students to be committed to their own respective parishes. Therefore, they form small indirect building blocks for the unity of the Church
Family and Community Values
CrossTalk teaches the importance of the family structure which is the building unit in the community. Awareness is taught to the children about the need to honor and respect parents. Teens and young adults are taught sexual education, enlightening them of the holiness of sex held within marriage, the institution which God has created since the beginning. Students are made aware that sex outside marriage will lead to harm, as in having teenage pregnancies that can often result in abortion. Students are also directed to put their faith into action and be ready to give their time to visit the needy, catering to their materialistic and spiritual needs
Social Responsibility
CrossTalk teaches students to have self-esteem and avoid peer pressure. Teachers are always updated on everything children, adults and especially the youth encounter in society’s dark areas. Teens and youth are made aware of the negative consequences of drugs, alcohol and pornography. The students are therefore made on guard against modern crises, from suicidal attacks to life-threatening car accidents, addictions, overdosage and self-harm.
In addition, CrossTalk is grabbing the opportunity of its direct contact with the young generation to help raise awareness on the grand positive impact of recycling, rendering them productive members of society. It teaches its community the sorting of waste and provides a drop-off point at its different branches for depositing sorted recyclables
Good Citizenship
CrossTalk raises awareness about citizens’ rights and duties; such as the importance of following governmental regulations, paying taxes, voting and others. When Christians and Lebanon are passing through difficult times, CrossTalk preaches hope by holding prayer meetings, believing that what people cannot resolve, God can surely do
