The following rules have been established at the Academy in order to maintain an academically, morally and socially healthy atmosphere for your children, These guidelines are non-negotiable and will be enforced by both teachers and Academy directors.

  If in dispute, Academy directors maintain the right to have the final say about appropriate dress.

 Homework Policy:

On occasion, the teachers will assign homework to your child. When possible, we will list assignments on the announcement board. Assignments will also be listed on the web site. We do expect homework to be completed as assigned.
