Causing unnecessary dissension/discord or violation of any of our Policies may lead to termination of your student’s registration. There will be zero-tolerance of discriminatory behavior/language or harassment, disrespectful behavior or language, misuse of facilities and electronic platforms, and other basic rights and of our Policies; this applies to both students and parents. ZSDA reserves the right to dismiss any student due to frequent absences/tardiness, lack of discipline, inappropriate behavior, and/or parental or guardian noncompliance with the academy policies.

Speech and Debate camps/clubs have certain prerequisites that need to be fulfilled prior to start of class and no exceptions will be made. Student’s registration and enrollment is the parent’s commitment that your student will participate to the best of their ability in their registered program and that both parents and students will abide by all rules of ZSDA. ZSDA has the right to terminate any student’s registration at any time for any reason including parents’ discord and no refund will be made as well in that account.
