We believe that it is crucial for learners to have a safe space free from bullying and judgment. We expect learners to respect each other and be kind to their classmates at all times. We will not tolerate bullying in any form. However, we will give students an opportunity to correct their behavior before they are removed from class. Behavior issues are handled as follows: 1. A verbal warning will be given to the student. 2. Student will be placed in a waiting room or break room (depending on the severity). The teacher will chat or have a verbal discussion with the student and student will be allowed to return to class. 3. Removal from class (no refund will be issued) Students will be provided with a downloadable copy of a Japnase language textbook and workbook to use during class.
