Our Philosophy
The uniform policy at Tyndale Classical Academy is driven by a desire to create and promote an environment of learning where dress is not a distraction to the educational process We recognize that humans are both physical and spiritual beings made in the image of God, and the way we dress is an expression of stewardship of our bodies and regard for others.
Our uniform policy exists to foster:
A Respectful and Focused Learning Environment
Humility and Modesty
Reduction of Peer Pressure and Social Stratification
Sense of Identity and Unity
Basic Guidelines
Dress Neatly
Be clean
Be compliant
The school administration will determine if there is a violation of the dress code, either in fact or attitude Students not complying with the dress code will be required to rectify their appearance as quickly as possible Special days may be scheduled, such as dress up days or Spirit week, during which other clothing options are allowed
Apparel:
Students clothing must be clean, free of holes or tears and appropriately sized
No visible undergarments.
Girls’ shorts must be no more than 3 inches above the knees.
Girls must wear tights/leggings or biker shorts under their dresses or skirts
Leggings may not be worn as pants
Hair & Accessories:
Students will keep their hair neat, clean and well-groomed.
No visible tattoos are allowed.
If watches become a distraction, the teacher has the discretion to request that it be removed.
We hope that our uniforms can save families both and time and money By de-emphasizing the social impact of dress, the uniform helps focus the students on character and academic issues It strives to level the playing field for every student, regardless of economic context
