Parents carry the God-given responsibility for educating their children. Enrolling their children in Geneva does not release parents from this responsibility. In loco parentis is Latin for “in the place of the parents.” At Geneva, authority over students is understood as delegated authority. During the school day, the faculty and staff stand in loco parentis.
Because the home environment is vital to the well-being of our students, the school requires notification of any change in parents’ marital or parental status. Custodial documentation will be required in order to separate parents living in different households in our school database. Without proper documentation, the family demographic information will remain in-tact. Geneva will communicate with all parents who have established communication rights at the time of admission unless directed by custodial documents.
