Student Discipline and Integrity Standards

At the heart of the Student Discipline and Integrity Standards (SDIS) are core values that guide student behavior, support personal development, and uphold the school's educational mission. These values form the foundation for a respectful, responsible, and thriving school community.

1. Respect

We honor the dignity, diversity, and rights of every individual. Respect is shown through words, actions, and attitudes — toward peers, teachers, staff, school property, and oneself.

2. Integrity

Students are expected to act with honesty and strong moral principles at all times, especially in academic work. Integrity means taking responsibility for one’s actions and doing what is right, even when no one is watching.

3. Responsibility

Being accountable for one’s behavior, decisions, and commitments — including attending classes, submitting work on time, and contributing positively to the school environment.

4. Safety

We are committed to creating a secure and supportive environment where students feel physically, emotionally, and socially safe. Everyone has a role in promoting and maintaining a safe community.

5. Inclusivity

Our community values diversity and embraces individuals from all cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. Students are encouraged to engage with openness and empathy.

6. Excellence

Striving for personal and academic growth is encouraged and celebrated. Students are supported in setting high standards and working diligently to achieve their goals with discipline and perseverance.

These core values are more than just rules — they shape the culture of our school and prepare students to be thoughtful, ethical, and engaged global citizens.

School Policy & Code of Conduct (SDIS)

At Shree Dhanvantary International School, we are committed to creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment for all members of our community.
