Having a school environment that is conducive to learning is critical at the All-Boys. We strive to have less rules and have meaningful ones that will apply over several circumstances. Establishing these expectations occurs at the beginning of the year and they will evolve throughout the school year when necessary.

- Establish a consequence plan for the class (e.g. timeout, loss of privilege).
