The Wesleyan Way

At Kentucky Wesleyan, we believe in an education that goes far beyond the textbook, the computer screen or the written exam. Leaders of the next generation are those who have been educated with a broad view of how relationships matter in the overall success of our world.

Consequently, we believe in “The Wesleyan Way” of learning and living. The Wesleyan Way is based on four principles we incorporate into every single thing that we do:

We do everything with HONOR .

We always SUPPORT EACH OTHER .

We will COMPETE WITH INTEGRITY.

We LOVE EACH OTHER in Christ.
