Code of Conduct

​Each student will be treated with respect and courtesy by the JMPS staff and will be expected to treat all other people on campus with the same respect and courtesy. The overriding standard of conduct at James Madison Preparatory School is the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The Code of Conduct serves as a guide for each student's actions and establishes the standards for behavior and deportment. JMPS’s school discipline procedures are developed around the Code of Conduct. JMPS staffers and faculty members are expected to be examples of the Code and are subject to disciplinary action if they fail to meet this standard.​
