We recommend that students pay for the calls using the phone debit cards readily available at convenience stores and other stores. We advise families not to give students calling cards that have no limitations. Whereas weekdays are very structured at Grier, the weekend is the exact opposite. A student may, if she chooses, do absolutely nothing from dinner on Friday until study hall on Sunday. However, most students fill their time participating in trips organized by the school or using the school's facilities for some other activity.
Weekends involve many off campus trips but also on campus activities.
Yes, Grier does ask students to leave if there is sufficient cause to do so. Stealing, either at school or off-campus. In general, the school's discipline system can be summed up by the following words of our Head of School, Andrea Hollnagel. Be where you're supposed to be. Do what you are to do.
