YOUR SUMMER OF FRIENDSHIPS –LIVING IN A COMMUNITY

Expectations

Most students who attend the TASIS England Summer Program are boarders, and life in a residential school is different from life in a day school. In order for everyone to live together happily and safely, specific expectations for behavior are set forth formally in writing and informally, as dictated by common sense. These expectations are based on the need for community members to conduct themselves in a way that builds mutual trust and respect. Examples of informal expectations for behavior include: arriving to class and activities on time, treating fellow students and teachers politely and respectfully, and using appropriate language. Formal expectations for behavior include, but are not limited to, prohibitions against drugs, smoking, drinking, and stealing. Breaking these rules will result in more serious consequences.

The vast majority of students who attend our summer programs come to learn, have fun, and make new friends, and there are rarely serious infractions of major rules.

In keeping with our School's Mission, we encourage our summer program students to be principled, open-minded, and compassionate. TASIS England reserves the right to dismiss a student who has demonstrated that they are an unsatisfactory member of the school community. If, in the School’s judgment, a student’s conduct on or away from campus indicates that they are consistently out of sympathy with the mission, commitments, outcomes (ideals and objectives), and program of the School, the student could be suspended or permanently excluded from the School, even though there may have been no infraction of a specific rule.
