No student can truly achieve what they are ultimately capable of in a boarding school or elsewhere without an appropriate amount of support, care, and direction. AIS-Salzburg has always been and will remain a small, intimate, and personal boarding school with a very familiar atmosphere and climate. Each and every student is known personally by everyone at the school from the Headmaster on down. No one feels out-of-place or lost. The resident staff, especially, expends a great amount of time getting to know the students, their personalities, and their characters; identifying both their talents and strengths as well as their less-developed habits and weaknesses. In such an environment, everyone feels a part of the program and an essential member of the community. This, then, provides them with the calm and comfort necessary to be able to focus on the challenging academic expectations.
As in all boarding schools, there are some actions and behaviors which are simply unacceptable and violate the very essence of an international education. When such incidents occur, the school calls a disciplinary committee together to discuss the event with the students involved and makes a recommendation to the administration. The disciplinary committee includes representatives from all of the school’s community: students, teachers, resident staff members, and administrators. Through evaluation and discussion, the most appropriate consequences and further action are agreed upon.
All students and parents want to be assured that the boarding school they are members of is guided by principles which are fair as well as defined by respect and reason. We feel that the long-term benefits of structure, compliance to decency, and respect for others are worth a great deal to our students’ future lives. Therefore, we have defined our expectations with this in mind and enforce them with the knowledge that they are essential in the presentation of excellent students and decent human beings as graduates or our school.
