Dress Code
Boys & Girls (General PS-3rd)Christians are admonished by scripture to dress modestly to the glorification of God, and avoid showiness in their appearance. (I Corinthians 10:31, I Peter 3:3-4) In accordance with these principles, all students are expected to be neatly attired and modest in appearance, not bringing undue attention to themselves through their appearance. The students' dress and overall appearance should positively reflect on their school as ambassadors of Christian Life Academy.
