In general, legal alcohol consumption by students is a family matter. The school expects self-control and responsible behavior in that context. At the same time, when the school has jurisdiction, there needs to be recognizable and enforceable policies that will promote a healthy and safe environment. The school is committed to provide education and guidance for students to prevent the use or abuse of alcohol.
On Campus
Students are not permitted to consume alcohol on campus.
Off Campus
The use, or possession (or being under the influence) of alcoholic beverages at school-sponsored activities, or on school-arranged transportation, is forbidden and will lead to disciplinary measures ranging from suspension of future travel to expulsion.
The only exceptions to this policy will be at major school social events which shall require the formal approval of the Head of School and the specific authorization of the students’ parents, within the provisions of the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
