UniformOverview
Kyrie Christian Academy schools will now offer the option to purchase uniforms online through a seamless ordering platform provided by Ivy School Uniforms.
Each school can customize the required pieces by adding a fourth distinguishing color to the Scholar Plaid.
The uniform pieces are detailed below for your review.
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.
Ivy School Uniforms carries our preferred plaid options and other items. Please see below for items that must be purchased from ISU. You may purchase other uniform items on Amazon, Target, Old Navy and similar retailers. When purchasing from an outside retailer, please consult the images we have provided to ensure continuity.
