VIRGINIA: private schools


Faith Outreach Education Center, Hampton
One of the disciplinary actions here is "Paddling (by parent)".


Jefferson Christian Academy, Ripplemead
At this K-12 school, "paddling is employed because it is a disciplinary method sanctioned and supported by Scripture (Proverbs 13:24)". Parents are informed beforehand.


Keystone Christian Academy, Berryville
Click "Handbook". CP is "applicable to Pre-school through 6th grade".


WASHINGTON STATE: private schools


Christian Faith School, Federal Way
Discipline here may include "a spanking administered by the parent at school".


Columbia River Christian Academy, Kettle Falls
"If, in the principal's judgment, a student's behavior warrants a more severe discipline, a spanking will be administered, with the parent's prior approval."


Riverview Baptist Christian School, Pasco
All parents must sign the Corporal Punishment form. There is a maximum of three paddle swats. Three demerits plus a spanking are given to any student, at any grade level (K through 12), who cheats, shows disrespect, uses vulgar language, listens to rock music, lies, skips class or leaves campus without permission, among other things. Also, any student who accumulates six demerits in a quarter receives an "Automatic spanking". Furthermore, "Any effort to cheat in completing of the demerit will result in swats".


The Oaks Christian School, Spokane Valley
At this K-12 school, a second disciplinary visit to the Headmaster's Office "may entail corporeal [sic] punishment".


Salvation Christian Academy, Edgewood
"You are asked to be present during the corporal punishment process or may extend your authority to the school administration." There is a maximum of two "firm strokes" with a "simple flat paddle". Both parents have to sign that they "support the school in its corporal punishment policy without reservation". With effect from 2018, only students in grades 7 through 10 may be spanked; CP is not used at all at the elementary level. See also this further page, which lays down that a student who accumulates 150 demerit points is subject to "referral for corporal punishment".


WEST VIRGINIA: private schools


Ballard Christian School
Parents must give full discretion to this K-12 school in discipline, which "includes assigning detention, paddling, suspension, and expulsion".


Covenant School, Huntington
"Spanking" is one of the disciplinary measures that the Head of this K-12 school may impose. "Biblical principles" in the classroom include "swift/painful punishment (including paddling)".


WISCONSIN: private schools


Faith Christian School, Randolph
"The teacher is authorized to spank a child when warranted. ... Another teacher will be called in to witness the discipline and the parents will be notified and give approval prior to the spanking. This spanking will take place by means of a stick or paddle administered to the backside of the student."
