Cadet Development: Moralethical
Moral-ethical development is central to the West Point experience. It is integral to the
academic program and imbedded throughout the military and physical programs. The
Honor Code -- "A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do"--sets the
minimum standard for integrity, but the Military Academy seeks to inspire adherence to
the spirit of the code. We want to develop leaders of character, men and women who
revere honesty, pursue justice and practice respect for others and their property.
Cadets are guided by the timeless creed "Duty, Honor, Country" with "Respect" and
"Integrity" as the central fundamental values.
