Our development of a Uniform Policy is driven by a desire to create and promote an environment of learning where dress is not a distraction to the educational process.  Several key principles to keep in mind:

 

• Our goal is to honor God in all we do, acknowledging the Lordship of Jesus Christ in our choices.

• All human actions, including outward manifestations such as clothing, reveal and communicate the disposition of the heart.

• Clothing represents the vocational calling of the student.  Inherent in the uniform standards is a desire to create an environment where undue attention is not drawn to specific students.

 

• Expectations differ for boys and girls and modesty is expected in all manners of dress.

 

Uniforms should be clean and in good repair, and students are expected to be in uniform while at school unless specified otherwise.  The administration is responsible for the determination of the code.  Enforcement of the code is the responsibility of parents, administration, faculty and staff.

 

As our students enter into our secondary school, the uniform code changes.  Students are given, within the look of the uniform, a few more choices.  Our hope is that this will give the students an opportunity to show their personality as well as their responsibility in terms of glorifying God with their dress.   

Use the following Dress Code Information Sheets as your guide to purchasing the correct uniforms.
