Because severe misconducts are offenses that may result in dismissal or suspension from school, and because they are so serious that they frequently affect the entire school community, the school established a Judiciary Committee to advise the Head of School in such cases. The Judiciary Committee meets at the sole discretion of the Head of School, who may decide to adjudicate a situation personally if he determines this approach is in the best interest of the school. The intent of the Judiciary Committee is to engage in a discussion of the events of the misconduct with the involved students in order to have them reflect seriously their behavior. The ultimate goal of the process is to lead each student toward a greater sense of responsibility toward the school community. Students appearing before the Judiciary Committee will be accompanied by their faculty advisor for advice and support.

The role of the Judiciary Committee is to make disciplinary recommendations to the Head of School. The Head of School makes all final decisions in regard to cases heard by the Judiciary Committee. The Dean of Students or Division Head will consult with the parents concerning all disciplinary actions. The appropriate place for parents to discuss or review a disciplinary decision regarding a severe misconduct is with the Head of School.

The Middle School Judiciary Committee is composed of the Head of Middle School, faculty, and select students from grades 6-8.

The Upper School Judiciary Committee is composed of eight students (a male and female elected from each Upper School grade), the Upper School Dean of Students and five members of the faculty appointed by the Head of School. Four students and four faculty members constitute a quorum of this committee.

A student member of the Judiciary Committee who is on Disciplinary Probation may be removed from the Committee or may be asked to step down for a period of time commensurate with the severity of the infraction. Further, the Dean of Students or the Head of School may ask a member of the committee to remove him/herself from adjudicating any case in which the committee member may have conflicting interests.
