Ashford Academy

Ashford Academy admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic programs, or other school administered programs. It shall be the policy of Ashford Academy not to discriminate against any individual on the basis of a disability, and no one will be denied the opportunity to participate in or benefit from the services and facilities to Ashford Academy on the basis of a disability. Ashford Academy shall take steps as may be necessary to ensure that no individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, or segregated or otherwise treated differently than other individuals. All students at Ashford Academy are charged with the responsibility to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate to good citizenship. Student conduct shall be founded on the basic concept of respect, consideration for the rights of others, and applicable laws. The Board believes that the kind of discipline preferable in a democratic society is that typified by self-discipline. It considers self-discipline as a learning process whereby the individual progressively learns to develop habits of self-control and recognizes his own responsibilities to society. Behavior and discipline policies shall, therefore, demonstrate recognition both of individual student constitutional rights and of the paramount needed for maintaining a proper atmosphere for learning within each school.
