At Foster International School, we strive to create a safe, inclusive, and productive learning environment for all students. Our policies are designed to ensure a structured and positive educational experience. Below are some of the key policies that govern the functioning of our school:

1. Admission Policy

Foster International School accepts students based on an inclusive and fair admission process. All applicants undergo an initial assessment to ensure that they are placed in the appropriate grade and program. We prioritize providing opportunities for all students, irrespective of background, while ensuring we maintain the highest standards of education.

2. Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct is designed to help students develop respect, responsibility, and discipline. We expect all students to:

– Follow the rules set for academic, social, and extracurricular activities.

– Behave respectfully towards staff, peers, and the school community.

– Adhere to the dress code and maintain a positive attitude.

Any violations of this code are addressed promptly in alignment with our values.

3. Attendance Policy

Regular attendance is essential to the success of our students. We encourage families to ensure their children attend school regularly. Absences must be communicated to the school in advance, and students are expected to make up for any missed work. Excessive absenteeism without valid reasons may lead to academic consequences.

4. Disciplinary Policy

At Foster International School, discipline is key to maintaining an environment conducive to learning. Disciplinary actions are taken when students violate school policies, including bullying, violence, or misconduct. The actions range from warnings to suspension or expulsion, depending on the severity of the violation. 

We aim to teach students responsibility, accountability, and the importance of making positive choices.

5. Assessment and Evaluation Policy

We conduct regular assessments to monitor the academic progress of students. These evaluations are used to help us tailor teaching methods and offer support where necessary. Assessment results are communicated to parents regularly, and progress reports are shared at key intervals throughout the year.

6. Health and Safety Policy

The health and safety of our students is a top priority. We have comprehensive procedures in place for dealing with emergencies, maintaining clean and secure premises, and ensuring a safe environment for all activities. Students’ medical conditions are monitored, and staff are trained in basic first aid and emergency response.

7. Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy

We take child protection very seriously. All staff members undergo background checks and are trained to recognize signs of abuse or neglect. Any suspected cases of abuse are immediately reported to the relevant authorities and handled in accordance with our safeguarding policies.

8. Technology and Internet Use Policy

We provide students with access to technology to enhance their learning experience. Students must use school technology in a responsible manner, following our rules for appropriate online behavior. Misuse of technology or engagement with inappropriate content is strictly prohibited.

9. Grievance Redressal Policy

If students or parents have concerns or complaints, we have a transparent grievance redressal mechanism in place. Parents and students can address concerns with the relevant authorities, and we are committed to resolving issues quickly and fairly.

10. Extracurricular Activities Policy

We believe in holistic development. Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities that include sports, arts, technology, entrepreneurship, leadership and clubs. Participation is voluntary, but students are expected to adhere to the rules and commitment required for these activities.

11. Dress Code Policy

We maintain a professional yet comfortable dress code to promote a sense of community and belonging. Students are required to wear the school uniform during school hours and for certain events unless otherwise stated. The dress code emphasizes neatness and modesty.

12. Homework Policy

Homework is an important part of reinforcing what is learned in the classroom. We assign age-appropriate homework with the goal of helping students develop their time-management and independent learning skills. Homework assignments should be completed on time, and students are encouraged to seek assistance if needed.

13. Fee Payment Policy

We require timely payment of school fees to ensure the smooth operation of school activities. The fee schedule is communicated in advance, and parents must adhere to the deadlines to avoid any disruptions to their child’s education.

14. Communication Policy

We believe in maintaining strong communication between the school, parents, and students. Regular updates on school activities, student progress, and important announcements are shared. Parents are encouraged to reach out with any concerns or queries.

15. Environmental Sustainability Policy

At Foster International School, we believe in fostering environmental consciousness among our students. We encourage recycling, energy conservation, and awareness of environmental issues. Through our curriculum and extracurricular activities, students are taught the importance of sustainability in their daily lives.

These policies are designed to ensure that all students receive a quality education in a safe, supportive, and respectful environment. Our goal is to provide an exceptional learning experience that prepares students for success in the future.
