If bulling occurs,  or disruptive behaviors, your child will be sent home immediately without a refund. We expect all our students to adhere to a BE COOL AND NICE  policy - which means the everyone needs to be cool and nice. 

​Bullying of any form is not tolerated at Camp Couture , whether carried out by a child or an adult. Bullying behaviour is unacceptable in any form. 

Bullying is a major distraction from learning. Victims, perpetrators, and witnesses of bullying can suffer significant emotional, mental, and physical health consequences when this type of anti-social behavior occurs. The negative consequences of bullying not only affect the well-being of the students directly involved but also diminishes the spirit and learning atmosphere of the entire school. ISVI is committed to protecting its students, employees, and applicants for admission from bullying and harassment, for any reason and of any type. The administration believes that all students and employees are entitled to a safe, equitable, and harassment-free school experience. ISVI will strive to maintain an educational and residential environment free of bullying. ISVI sets forth the following policy for the identification, reporting, and handling of bullying for the overall goal of the protection of the students and their ability to learn and live in a safe environment.
