The school believes that an important aspect of creating a productive school environment is appropriate dress. Students in Nursery, Pre-K, and Kindergarten have a relaxed dress code, but all clothing should have age-appropriate images and messages.
Beginning in Grade 1, students have a formal dress code which is comprised of Dress Uniform and Daily Wear. Dress uniform is worn on special occasions such as All-School Chapels, school picture day, school performances, certain study trips, etc. The Dress Code changes as students matriculate to Middle School.
Nursery/Pre-K/Kindergarten Dress Code
Children wear play clothes that are neat, comfortable, and easily handled independently. Parents and guardians avoid costumes, overalls, sandals, flip-flops, dressy shoes, party dresses, or fancy clothing that might be damaged or cause tripping, and clothes the child cannot easily handle in the restroom.
