Suspension is a form of discipline in which the student is forbidden access to the campus for a designated length of time. This is done for several reasons:
- to briefly remove the influence of the student and his behavior from the campus
- to oblige the student to experience the convicting sting of punitive removal from one’s peers
- to allow the student to reflect on the behavior and the consequences, hopefully leading to repentance
- to allow for parental discussion and familial restoration and healing
The headmaster determines the length of the suspension (one day minimum to five day maximum). While serving a suspension, the student receives a zero for any recorded daily work but may make up missed homework or exams or essay submission dates.
