INCLUSION POLICY

PCA values every member of our community. We expect all of our students, staff, and faculty to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects favorably upon themselves, the school and the values and standards we

strive to model and maintain. PCA’s aim is to honor, respect and protect each individual, and to nurture a community of only those who honor and respect each other.

The Code of Conduct outlines our rights and responsibilities as members of the PCA community, as well as possible consequences for not meeting these responsibilities and standards. Violations of standards of behavior described herein may lead to a verbal or written warning, probation, suspension, or dismissal, as deemed appropriate by the administration. All students, faculty, and staff are required to be familiar with the Code of Conduct.

If you are witness to or are victim of an incident that you believe violates the Code of Conduct involving members of the PCA community and wish to report the incident, submit the Report a Violation of the Code of Conduct form. Your concern will be routed to the appropriate office and/or team of trained staff depending on the nature of your concern. Any allegations will be fully investigated. The information that you communicate will be held in confidence within the limits possible. However, in the event that a community member reports behavior that is a crime under French law, or that indicates immediate threat to the life of self or others, PCA is bound to report this to the French authorities and fully cooperate with a police investigation.
