Bullying

ARC takes pride in the family-like setting our school has established and maintained over the years. Due to having a small group of students, conflict between students tends to affect more than the parties directly involved and issues need to be resolved as soon as possible. All our students suffer when bullying happens inside and outside the classroom. As a school dedicated to teaching moral values and ensuring our students know compassion and empathy, we believe all forms of bullying are serious and will require immediate action from all parties involved. Early intervention of conflict is key to ensuring our students feel safe and secure at ARC. All forms of bullying are grounds for detention, suspension, or dismissal.
