Policies
The Duxbury Bay Maritime School admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin. A drug and chemical free environment will be strictly maintained.
Conduct Policy
The goal of DBMS programs is to develop students’ individual strengths, to improve their skills, and to have fun while doing so. Programs require a high standard of commitment, effort, and personal conduct. Decent, self-respecting behavior and true sportsmanship are expected of everyone while participating in the school’s program, while on the school’s property, and while representing DBMS. Failure to adhere to code of conduct will result in disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion.
Payment Policy
All classes must be paid IN FULL at the time of registration. The only exception is 3-week Junior Sailing classes where a non-refundable $100 deposit is required for each session at the time of registration. All 3-week Junior Sailing balances must be paid in full at least two weeks prior to the start of class.
- Session 1: June 27-July 15 Full payment due by Friday, June 10
- Session 2: July 18-August 5 Full payment due by Friday, July 1
