Dress Code

The aim of the dress code is to create an appropriate academic climate. The school believes that standards of neatness and appropriateness in clothing encourage an atmosphere conducive to learning, work and discipline. Pride in one’s school and oneself is, in part, influenced by appearance. 

The excerpts below are from the dress code for each division, to give you an idea of what students wear to school. Students who will be visiting the school for the day* should also follow these guidelines. Examples of colors and styles may be found in the Lands’ End School Uniform Catalog. The complete dress code is listed in the Current Parent section of our Web site and also in each division handbook. Parents also purchase uniform items from Old Navy, Target, Sears, Kohls, JC Penney and WalMart. Please call the admissions office at 407-3553 with any questions.

*If your student plans to visit on a Wednesday (this is a special "school dress" day), students will wear the following: Lower-Middle School, white shirt and blue pants/skirt; High School, white shirt and khaki pants/skirt.
