Care, courtesy and respect for each other and property are gently but firmly demanded at Gnyan Dham School. Our rules are not stringent but are based on a common sense approach to working and living together throughout the school day. Our approach is to praise children for being good and reward them with encouragement rather than to concentrate attention on rule breakers. However, parents are informed whenever problems with discipline or behaviour are encountered. Through positive encouragement and reinforcement, we successfully maintain the good standard of behaviour for which Gnyan Dham School is well known. Although, when repeated rule breakers, defiant, insulting students or parents misbehave, stern action is perforce taken so that wrongdoing does not become precedence. The school is in such circumstances, forced to ask parents to withdraw their child in the larger interest of all children.
The Principal can, in the interest of the school and without assigning any reason, ask a parent to remove a ward, after three recorded warnings for their repeated bad behaviour at the end of the academic session / or with the immediate effect, should the ward's parent's conduct and misbehaviour in any way be detrimental to the discipline of the school or should she/he seem unable or unwilling to profit by the educational advantages of the school, the same treatment will be meted out to the ward. Our school is under CCTV surveillance.
The school uniform must be meticulous. If the students are not in full and proper uniform, they will not be allowed to attend school.
Leave of Absence: No child will be permitted to leave school early for any reason unless there is a written request to this effect from the parent.

No child will be permitted to leave the school early for any reason, whatsoever. If doctor's appointments are necessarily to be taken on a weekday the child should not be sent to school.
The pupils should reach the school in time. They should be in school latest by 7.55 a.m., the gates will be closed at 8.00 a.m. when the assembly begins.
