Dress Code

Transitional Kindergarten through 8th Grade

General Guidelines

During school hours, the following guidelines are designed to prepare the student to live self disciplined and self-aware in a world that lacks both. None of the items below reflect a New Testament command, nor do they measure someone’s spirituality. However, since our students will one day attend colleges, be employed by organizations that have rules, and live in societies that have laws… we want to begin preparing them now to be leaders.

Uniforms may be purchased from any retailer as long as colors and styles match the following guidelines. Please see landsend.com to reference approved styles and colors.
