Privacy Policy
Use of Personal Information
We do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it—such as by sending us an email, participating in a survey, or completing an online form. Any personal information you submit will not be shared with non‑affiliated third parties unless otherwise specified at the time of collection. Submitted information is used solely for the purpose stated when it is collected.
Consent
When consent is required for the use or disclosure of personal information, the school will obtain it from the appropriate individual. For a student’s personal information, consent will typically be obtained from the parent, taking into account the circumstances and the potential implications of the proposed use or disclosure.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser that allows a website to “remember” your preferences—such as calendar settings or bookmarks—across visits, or to maintain your logged-in status when accessing protected areas.
The use of cookies on our site is not linked to any personally identifiable information. Most web browsers allow you to reject cookies, selectively accept them, or delete previously stored cookies. Please note that rejecting or deleting our cookies may limit the functionality of certain features on the site.
Log Files
Like most websites, we use analytics tools—such as Google Analytics—to understand how our site is accessed and used. The information collected may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, visitor location (country and city), browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, platform type, date and time of visits, time spent on pages, and search keywords used to find our site.
This data is anonymous and cannot be directly linked to individual users. We use it to identify high‑ and low‑traffic areas, troubleshoot potential issues, analyze general visitor trends, and improve the site’s visibility and ease of navigation.
Links
This website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' personal information. Whenever users submit personal information (such as contact info or credit card info) via online forms, registration, or online purchase, upon submission that information is encrypted via the highest level of SSL (Secured Sockets Layer) available. Servers that store personally identifiable information are in a secure environment. Under no circumstances are credit card numbers permanently stored on our website servers.
Non-secured Communications
Any posts made in interactive areas—such as discussion forums, message boards, or blog comments—are visible to other users. If these areas are not password‑protected, they may also be accessible to the general public. Please keep this in mind when sharing personal information in these spaces.
