By teaching students to diligently take care of the little things in life, including the way they dress, we slowly build good habits that lead to virtue; in the case of uniforms, dressing respectfully, responsibly, and with an eye toward the noble pursuit of education and true happiness.

Uniform requirements are listed in our Parent Handbook, which can be found under the “Parents” dropdown menu above. All uniform pieces may be purchased through the Lands’ End uniform store, using Preferred School Number 900205451
