Repeated Disciplinary Problems

Students who continue to display repeated or deliberate disobedience to the school rules or directives from the teachers and administration may receive after school detention or suspension until the student can agree to be in compliance to the school's rules. Biblical counseling and prayer will always be a part of this process. Communication from the teacher to the parent(s) will always be a very important part of the disciplinary system.

Dismissal

It is not our desire to ever ask a student to leave the Academy. Yet reality mandates that with these difficult times of society's moral and spiritual decline this will happen. If the parents demonstrate an unwillingness to work with us, we may ask that their students be enrolled in a school where the parents could comfortably work with the staff. It is not fair to the school family, the student and his family, or any of us to perpetuate a relationship that is not working together toward the needed objectives. Such teamwork actions are imperative for the ultimate best for the child.
