A code of student conduct has been established by the Board of the Academy. It describes the school’s philosophy on discipline as follows:

“Discipline is the positive direction of behavior toward established standards of conduct, fully understood, and based upon reason, judgment, and consideration of the rights of others. Ideal discipline is self-directed and self-controlled. Schools, communities, and parents share the responsibility for helping students develop self-discipline. When self-control falters and self-discipline fails, disciplinary forces from outside the individual must be imposed to protect the rights of others and to ensure uninterrupted instruction by teachers for students.”

To the extent possible, Grand Blanc Academy applies Restorative Practices to ensure that restitution, learning, and changed behavior are a result of the disciplinary practice. This code of conduct also lists the specific behaviors that warrant disciplinary action.
