Handbook

The mission of Scranton Preparatory School demands that we work closely with parents and guardians in developing young men and women of conscience, competence, and compassion. We co-labor with you in the development of the children that God has entrusted to us. The rules and regulations contained herein, and an appropriate response to them, are one way in which we attempt to accomplish that mission.

Please read this handbook carefully. Your child should read and observe all the rules and regulations present here. The student’s registration at Scranton Prep is to be considered equivalent to a statement, on the part of the students, parents, and guardians, of a willingness to comply with all rules and regulations.

The student will be held responsible and accountable for any violations, even if it is due to a parent’s or guardian’s failure to comply with the stated procedures. Parents will be notified when their child is involved in situations where there are major repeated violations of the school’s code of conduct.

Tuition is nonrefundable. Students who withdraw or are discharged from the school, subsequent to the start of the school year, will be responsible for any balance of tuition or other amounts due for the remainder of the school year.

The entire faculty, staff, and administration are committed to your child’s spiritual, academic, social, and physical growth. We are willing to help in any way in this development. Please feel free to contact the Principal, Academic Deans, Dean of Students, or Guidance Department, if there are any questions, or if we can be of any assistance.

We have read the Student Handbook of Scranton Prep and understand that our child’s registration at Scranton Prep demonstrates our willingness to abide by and comply with the school’s regulations, policies, and procedures. We understand that the administration of Scranton Prep reserves itself the right to interpret, amend, or change the contents of the Handbook if necessary at any time.
 

St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, teaches us to seek God in all things. Jesuit schools believe that God can be powerfully encountered through an educational experience that includes and explores the great diversity that marks Creation in general and humanity in particular. Accordingly, Scranton Prep strives to form a school community in which differences in race, ethnicity, culture, Theology, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, and learning style are experienced, accepted, and understood.
