Just as parents dress for their workday, wearing an Academy uniform is a signal that education is just around the corner. This discipline should make it easier for the Academy to complete its primary task, educating children. Uniforms encourage team spirit. They set our group of students apart from other schools, encouraging each student to operate as part of a body, much like an athletic team or military group identified by common dress. It is our hope that students will take proper pride in the uniform and the school it represents.
Uniforms prevent the application of subjective dress standards.
Parents, students and teachers know that the uniform meets the Academy's modesty standards. Some may argue that a dress code is a good uniform substitute. However, as styles change, the dress code must be revised and reconsidered, distracting school operation. Uniforms decrease clothing costs. They are rugged, high-quality uniforms which can take abuse.
