Code of Professional
Conduct

Integrity, honesty and full compliance with applicable laws have governed the Anglo-American School’s practices. AAS faculty and staff have upheld and lived this commitment in their everyday responsibilities ever since its founding in 1967. Indeed, integrity is of critical importance when working with students and adults alike, and is one of AAS’ greatest assets. The Code of Professional Conduct specifies and helps the continued implementation of our mission, by establishing certain non-negotiable minimum standards of behaviour in key areas.

The nature of this Code is not meant to cover all possible situations that may occur. It is designed to provide a frame of reference against which to measure any activities. Faculty and staff should seek guidance when they are in doubt about the proper course of action in a given situation, as it is the ultimate responsibility of each employee to “do the right thing”, a responsibility that cannot be delegated. It provides a framework when considering the adage “character is not what you do when someone is looking; it is what you do when no one is looking.”
