What is the discipline policy at the Richmond Friends School?
The discipline policy at RFS focuses on helping students learn how to play and work with each other while celebrating the uniqueness of every member of the RFS community. The goal is to help the students become internally motivated and self-disciplined. Toward this goal, we use student-centered conflict resolution whenever possible. Corporal punishment, of course, has no place in a Friends school; rather, the school strives to increase cooperation between parents and teachers to assist any students who display particular difficulties by helping them develop skills in self-discipline and self-regulating strategies.
