Baha'i School Standards
To preserve and enhance group
unity and respect the standards of our Faith, the Bahá’í School Committee has
adopted standards for all of us while at school. Each of these standards is
designed to protect the Faith, the school, and the participants. They are
fully obligatory for all attendees.
Parents/Sponsors should make sure that children and youth understand
the standards.
A. Class
attendance is required for all ages.
B. Please do not bring pets, tape players,
“walkmen”, radios, TVs or computer games to Bahá’í School.
C. Each child/youth under age 18 who attends
the school without a parent must be accompanied by a sponsor who will be
responsible for the child’s welfare and conduct. Sponsors should be 21 or
older, considerably more mature than and of the same sex as those sponsored.
The only exception is that a Grandparent, aunt or uncle may sponsor a related
child of either sex. No adult should sponsor more than two children in addition
to his/her own. Sponsor and child must be housed together during the school.
D. Parents and sponsors of all children as
well as youth are completely responsible for their charges at all times when
students are not in class. This includes meal times, free times, and evenings.
E. Accidents or illness should be reported to
the First Aid Staff or School Director. Medical releases for minors (18 and
under) are necessary, even if parents are on campus.
F. Visitors and day students should check in
at Registration.
G. No smoking will be allowed in classrooms or
near dormitories.
H. A curfew of 9:30 p.m. is suggested for
those ages 11 and under. Quiet Hours begin at 11:00 p.m. for all ages.
I. Hotel/campus facilities should be kept
clean and in good order.
J. No drugs or alcohol will be tolerated.
K. No firearms or martial arts items will be
permitted.
L. We will adhere strictly to the code of
conduct and dress as prescribed by Shoghi Effendi. High standards of morality,
courtesy, cleanliness and modesty of dress will be upheld.
M. Disobedience of these rules may result in
dismissal from the school.
N. Questions on school standards may be
referred to the National School Committee.
