UNIFORM POLICY 2026-2027

Our Philosophy The uniform policy at Trinity 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.

Uniform Requirements 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.

Purchasing Information 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.

Uniforms can be purchased several ways. Lands’ End has our preferred plaid and other items. You can also purchase some of the items from French Toast, Amazon, Target, Old Navy and similar retailers. When purchasing from an outside retailer, please consult the images and links we have provided to ensure continuity. The “*” indicates items that must be purchased from Lands’ End.
