The Faculty Councils works alongside the Dean of Students to review candidates' disciplinary records, giving consideration to both the number of infractions and their types/levels as outlined in the School's Student Handbook. Suspensions are not permissible and anymore than 2 Detentions can be ground for dismissal.

A privately-conducted teacher survey is also used to better gauge how students act in classes among peers and staff.

The student of character:

Exemplifies the following six qualities: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.

These are traits defined in the National Honor Society's Handbook for Advisers, based on core ethical values of the Character Counts! program.

Furthermore, these are values reflected in our faith and the sunnah, making it even more important for students to embody.
