Dress Code Policy

The rationale for our uniform policy is that God looks on the heart. Man looks on the outward appearance. Our uniform policy is a testimony to the One who looks on the outward appearance (Matthew 7:20).

Diminishes clothes competition and fosters acceptance of fellow classmates
Students dressed neatly and appropriately will have respect for themselves and others
Contributes to a disciplined learning environment conducive to good study habits.

Dress-Down Days

Dress-Down Days will be determined by the academy's administration. The cost of Dress-Down Day is $1.00, non-perishable food item, or clothing depending on the season. Students will be notified of the ministry being supported. Certain restrictions still apply during Dress-Down Day. Specifically, clothing should be modest, neat and without worldly or inappropriately suggestive written messages. Christian messages are acceptable.
