The School, as a place of education in the wider sense, nurtures every pupil’s learning process and the development of a critical conscience through the Educational Agreement of Joint Responsibility. Following this agreement, each component of the school community undertakes to respect, and encourage others to respect, the School’s Rules.

To reach a successful learning outcome for each pupil, based on The Educational Project of the School (Progetto Educativo di Istituto or P.E.I.) and the Three Year Educational Plan (Piano Triennale dell’Offerta Formativo or P.T.O.F.), this agreement is an essential requirement for all the components of the school community and their families.

To this end, Saint Denis School proposes as an active participant, the following Educational Agreement of Joint responsibility that summarises the rights and obligations of each individual within the relationship School-Parents-Pupils.

In agreeing to the Educational Agreement, each individual is responsible and aware of his/her respective role within the School Community. The parties are bound to the relevant provisions of the Educational Agreement.
