Middle School Discipline
Back to Middle School

Our philosophy at Mount Airy Christian Academy is that students learn best in a structured, disciplined environment. Students are expected to respect and obey their authorities. Clear rules and consistent consequences for failure to comply with those rules are critical for students, particularly early adolescents. Middle School students are encouraged through our discipline plan to take personal responsibility and maintain self-discipline. Students are given positive reinforcement for appropriate behavior and readiness to learn. Students receive warnings for minor offenses, and compliance with dress code and tardiness is tracked. Office referrals and counseling are used to help students learn correct behavior. We partner with the parents to develop well-mannered and godly young men and women.

Incentives

Positive reinforcement for good behavior will be used in the classroom and across the grades. For example, in the classroom the students may gain time working on a preferred activity, or accumulate tickets for prizes, as determined by the teacher. The Principal will occasionally give a reward for altruistic behavior on the part of a student.
