Expulsion refers to the removal of a student from the school due to the student’s repeated violations of the school’s rules or for a single violation of such severity that separation from the school is necessary. If a student is suspended, expelled, or withdrawn due to disciplinary actions, there will be no refund of tuition or waiver of financial obligations.
Major offenses typically require either a maximum suspension (one week) or expulsion from the school. A student under consideration for expulsion may be placed on suspended leave for a maximum of three school days while the matter is under review by the Head of School. All decisions to expel for major offenses are made by the HOS.
If an incident involving threats or harassment is confirmed, school leadership (HOS or headmaster) will notify parents of the victim(s).
Parents are reminded that the illegal provision of alcohol or drugs to students can result in criminal penalties and civil lawsuits and could jeopardize their student’s enrollment at the school. Off-campus use by students of illegal drugs, misuse or abuse of legal drugs, other potentially damaging or dangerous substances or paraphernalia, or illegal use of alcohol can also result in disciplinary actions.
