CONFLICT RESOLUTION

     As Christians we believe that the Bible commands us to make every effort to live at peace and to resolve disputes with each other in private or within the Christian Church (1 Corinthians 6:1~7, Matthew 18:15~20). 

1. Matters of concern should first be handled individual to individual in accordance with the Lord’s commands in Matthew 18. If you are in disagreement with or have been offended by any staff, faculty or parent of Veritas, you are to first discuss the matter with that individual only, seeking a peaceful resolution. 
2. If resolution is not possible at this level, the matter should be brought to the Head of School. 
3. If a satisfactory resolution still has not been reached, further examination may be requested from the School Board in cases involving serious disagreement, so as to determine the necessity for external mediation. 

Step 4 is appropriate only when steps 1-3 have failed to bring resolution to the matter. 
4. External mediation will be sought through consultation with local pastors.
