Public Displays of Affection APIS is dedicated to a Christ-centered learning environment where students feel safe to discover their potential. Wholesome and God pleasing relationships among our students are encouraged. A public display of affection (PDA) is defined as any action which implies an exclusive or romantic relationship between two individuals. While we recognize that special relationships may exist, we also believe that these special friendships deepen the need for restraint and discipline. Public display of affection (PDA), during school hours and at school sponsored events are not allowed. If teachers or administrators observe a public display of affection, the students will initially receive a warning and counseling regarding the concerns. Persistent warnings will result in disciplinary actions and a conference with the administration and parents.
Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco Policies The use or possession of non-prescribed drugs, tobacco products or alcohol by a student enrolled at Asia Pacific International School is strictly prohibited on campus or at school related activities whether at school or at a different location. The school reserves the right to require a student to submit to a drug test, at the school’s expense, at any time.
Smoking APIS is a smoke-free zone by local code. Smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere on campus. Smoking is a major misbehavior for students and consequences will follow any violation.
