Policies & Procedures
It is understood that attendance at Andrew Jackson Academy is a privilege and not a right. Any student who does not conform to the standards and regulations of the institution may forfeit this privilege. Andrew Jackson Academy may request the withdrawal of any student or parent at any time, which in the opinion of the administration does not fit the spirit of the institution regardless of whether or not he conforms to the specific rules and regulations.
We remind students that manners are simply an outward display of one’s inner feelings toward others. As representatives of Andrew Jackson Academy, on campus and off, your deportment reflects on the Academy. Courteous behavior is expected.
Since a certain number of rules are necessary to maintain any institution, we request that you acquaint yourselves thoroughly with Andrew Jackson Academy’s policies and procedures as stated in the school's handbook. We further ask that you follow the spirit as well as the letter of these rules. The Principal and faculty will apply the Academy’s rules in a reasonable way. In turn, we expect from students a comparable degree of reason in following all the necessary rules. Please keep in mind that Andrew Jackson Academy reserves the right to deal with any breach of its regulations and procedures as it sees best.
