POLICIES & PROCEDURES

The American Fencing Academy and affiliated instructors, recognizing that all areas of life are religious and that our actions reflect those beliefs, for better or worse, and so declare that it is our goal and duty to acknowledge God and his perfect law. It is our highest duty to honor our Creator, and so it is our intent that the atmosphere of our class time should reflect that. We humbly acknowledge that others may hold other beliefs and are entitled to exercise and express those beliefs as long as they do not infringe on the rights and property of others. In an attempt for excellence, in fairness to all families, and to avoid some problems we've had in the past, we ask that you read and abide by these Policies & Procedures. We serve a God of order, and we desire to operate this ministry with orderliness.

Thank you for your cooperation.

14. Students are expected to work hard, and respect instructors and fellow students. In the unlikely event that a student becomes a discipline problem, they may be asked to sit out of class, participate in extra drills or exercises, or if they habitually disrupt good order and shirk discipline, get removed from class and a letter of explanation may be sent to you regarding the situation. Discipline is at the instructor’s sole discretion.
