Travel Policy 

(to be signed upon acceptance)

Realizing the unique community we are in and the valuable opportunities some of our children have to travel with parents on ministry trips, we want to be able to accommodate short and infrequent trips, while at the same time building a culture of academic excellence and camaraderie at school. 

We do ask that as much travel as possible, especially vacations, be planned around our TDA break days. We have found that the workload for students making up missed assignments from travel is quite burdensome on the student and on the teacher. 

All trip requests will need to be submitted by email to info@thedanielacademy.com at least 2 weeks ahead of time and the Principal will communicate if any trip can be an excused absence. All students will have 1 week after returning to get their work in for full credit. 

No excused high school travel absences will be made for the final week of each semester. We strongly encourage no travel for any grade during the last week of the semester. 

(For unusual circumstances and for students who are disciplined and good students, up to 2 weeks maximum may possibly be allowed to be excused during the semester.) 

Unusual time off: occasionally there may be a time when a student needs to stay home and wasn’t able to give the 2 weeks notice (ie grandma came to town and you haven’t seen her in a year). We will extend 1 “personal day” per semester for unusual circumstances.
