HIS code of conduct (COC) is derived from the school values and the IB learner profile. The purpose of the COC at HIS is to promote a safe environment in which students learn, feel valued, and develop responsibility for their own behavior and academic progress. This happens through recognition of positive behavior and provision of immediate and consistent consequences to irresponsible behavior, as well as the encouragement towards reflection and support of proper decision making. Rearing principled and responsible students is considered a collaborative effort between the parents/guardians, students, and staff who strive to live by the COC behaviors and attitudes.
