Introduction

A copy of the rules is sent to each parent upon admission of a student at the Academy. The following are the principles and rules to which parents subscribe when their children are admitted to the Academy. In addition to these principles, of which the spirit is naturally more important than the intimation, students are required to conform to various local regulations. These are not listed here as they may be altered from time to time. The Academy rules apply to all students.

General Conditions

1. The Academy has first claim on a student’s time and interest in term-time, including weekends.
2. Parents are normally requested to give a complete term’s notice in writing of the withdrawal of a student.
3. The acceptance of a place at Kathmandu Academy implies acceptance of the Academy’s rules by students and parents.

Cafeteria

1. Students are served meals on the roof top.
2. Students are expected not to be wasteful and place the dirty dishes at appropriate disposal locations.

Attendance

1. Students are required to be at the Academy at least 15 minutes prior to their commencement of the classes. Strict punctuality is required and students coming late are liable for their own recovery on the materials covered during the regular classes.
2. Students may not leave the Academy’s building during class periods without permission.  
3. Students may be required to attend Academy outside class hours, including Saturday, to attend other co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, and for other reasons.
4. Students are strongly discouraged from taking paid employment, which should never be undertaken where it interferes with Academy activities, and will not be accepted as an excuse for missing any activity.

Absence

1. Please telephone on the first day of a student’s absence in all cases. On returning to the Academy, the student should bring a note from the parents confirming the duration of, and reason for, absence.  This note should be given to the Principal.
2. Illness is the only justification for unforeseeable absence.  Absences for other legitimate causes (e.g. other examinations, university placement interviews, visits to home districts, etc) must be covered by a letter in advance to the Principal, who may arrange for the issue of an ‘Exeat Slip’.  Routine medical and dental appointments and similar engagements should not conflict with Academy activities.  Students will not be excused for family holidays and occasions.

Bounds and Leaves

1. The Administrative chambers are out of bounds for all students except with prior permission.
2. Students are not allowed to be in the labs without permission of the respective Faculty Member.
