Academic Integrity

Plagiarism is taking someone else’s ideas and passing them off as one’s own. Plagiarism is a very serious offense involving academic dishonesty. Footnotes must be used in: all word-for-word quotes; summarized or paraphrased passages; drawings, charts, tables which are not original with the student; statistics not original to the student; theories or interpretations not original to the student, definitions, and key words. The teacher of each course will outline his/her policy concerning what is acceptable and what might be considered cheating.

Classroom Expectations

We expect students to stand when the teacher enters the classroom or when the bell signals the start of class. This is an ANC tradition and demonstrates respect for the position of the teacher and the sphere of learning. Each teacher will define other expected classroom behavior. We ask students to cooperate to create a proper environment for instruction. Teachers will deal with behavioral infractions in consultation with the Principal or Assistant Principal. A student who disrupts a class may be removed from the course.

Sexual Harassment Policy

Sexual harassment of students, employees, or applicants for employment or enrollment at ANC is prohibited. Sexual harassment is a violation of not only the law but also the religious teachings for the New Church. ANC's policy may be secured upon request from the Girls School Principal, Boys School Principal, or the Managing Director.

Public Displays of Affection

At ANC, we strive to create a healthy atmosphere for girls and boys to interact healthily. In order to uphold an atmosphere of kind regard and courteous morality, words and actions that are considered unkind, immodest, or immoral are not allowed at ANC. We encourage modesty and morality by discouraging the public displays of affection listed here and similar actions: kissing, hand holding, hug dancing, heads resting in laps, sitting on laps, back rubs, lingering embraces, and cuddling.
