Code of Conduct

Each student enrolling in any program at Fei Tian Academy of the Arts, as well as his or her parents or guardians, must sign Fei Tian’s Code of Conduct below. This code is a living document of who we are and what is expected of each of us in this environment. It is our Code of Honor.

Students are expected to uphold the Code of Conduct and represent the Academy at all events and during all traveling and excursions including, but not limited to, school outings, weekend outings, and performance tours. Additionally, students are expected at all times to show respect and consideration for the personal and property rights of others and cooperate with members of the school community.

Parents and students are expected to have read the Code of Conduct, and to recognize and acknowledge that its provisions shall be binding on the parents or guardians and student while the student is enrolled or participates in any Fei Tian sponsored activities.

Beyond respectful, courteous, mature and ethical behavior, the Academy also insists upon the observance of the highest moral standards by its staff and students. Since Fei Tian students range from grade 6 upward, conduct must particularly suit the needs of the youngest students.

Each student, as well as the parents or guardians of any student, must agree to the following Code of Conduct:

1. Exhibit respectful and courteous behavior at all times toward faculty, staff, classmates, guests, and visitors.

2. Sexually oriented behavior of any kind is prohibited, including public displays of affection (PDA).

3. Dating on campus is prohibited and can lead to immediate dismissal of the student.

4. Any behavior that compromises the good name of Fei Tian Academy of the Arts is unacceptable.

5. Prompt attendance at classes, conferences, and assemblies is required.
