TIS Discipline Guidelines
We believe that:
• It is the school's responsibility to provide a positive climate for learning.
• Discipline is an essential part of education.
• Students have rights and responsibilities.
• School rules should be established and understood by parents, teachers and students.
• Discipline, as well as learning, is individualized.
• Parents should be deeply involved in the discipline of their daughters.
• There is no uniform formula for controlling misbehavior .
• Parents, teachers, and administrators should help students work towards self-discipline, self-control, and self-responsibility.
At the TIS we strive to maintain a wholesome and comfortable environment in which students are able to maximize on their talents and potential. In order to do that, we have set up some rules, regulations, and expectations that will help them better concentrate their efforts on schoolwork.
