Discipline and Code of Conduct

 

Discipline is an integral part of the learning process. In order to develop self-control, the student must be helped to understand his/her emotions and impulses, to live in harmony with others, to respect the rules of the family, to keep the laws of the country and to obey the laws of God.

Every teacher and Principal shall have the right to exercise the same authority as to student conduct and behavior as do the parents or guardians of the student. Student responsibilities include regular school attendance, conscientious effort and classroom work, and conformance to school rules and regulations. Most of all, students share with the administration and faculty the responsibility to develop a climate within the school that is conducive to wholesome learning and living.

No student has the right to interfere with the education of his fellow students. It is the responsibility of each student to respect the rights of teachers, students, administrators, and all others who are involved in the education process. Students should express their ideas and opinions in a respectful manner so as not to offend or slander others.
