Are students ever asked to leave Grier?
Yes, Grier does ask students to leave if there is sufficient cause to do so. Immediate expulsion from the school results from the following situations: • Proven use of illegal drugs • Shoplifting • AWOL (leaving campus without permission) • Bodily harm to another student In general, the school’s discipline system can be summed up by the following words of our former Head of School, Andrea Hollnagel. • Be where you’re supposed to be. • Do what you are to do. • Be respectful of yourself and others. When a student is asked to leave the school, the tuition, room and board fees are not refunded to the family unless they have purchased the “Tuition Reimbursement Plan” prior to the student’s matriculation at Grier. When this insurance has been purchased, a refund is paid amounting to 50% of the pro-rated remaining balance only after the student has been in attendance for 14 full days of school.
