Dress Code

Parents and students will be asked to sign a form agreeing to conform to the school dress code.

On-campus students wear the school uniform. There are several reasons for this policy:

It is required in order that proper emphasis be placed on the character traits of modesty, personal neatness, and cleanliness.

The uniform dispenses with competition due to outward appearance and affluence, thus further emphasizing the development of the inner person and recognition based on character qualities rather than mere outward show.

It also helps parents economically since it does away with the need to purchase fashionable clothing for their children.

It gives students a distinctive appearance which helps develop and reflect a worthy self-image, enhance school spirit, and encourage good behavior.

The uniform is to be treated – and worn – with respect.
