Breaches of these rules including the defiance of school authority will be viewed most seriously and may result in suspension, possibly dismissal. In some cases, it may be appropriate for the school to involve the participation of the Police.
Parents and students should know the School Act authorizes administrative officers, teachers, and other appropriate personnel at Toronto International Academy to discipline students, in the classroom, the school at large and in extra-curricular situations.
*Excessive absences, missing homework and assignments, and cheating on tests, exams and assignments will result in NO CREDIT being given for the student’s course work. In case students request any extra sessions from the teacher in addition to regular classes, the students will get permission from the school first and be responsible for covering additional fees for these sessions.
