Dress Code

Attending school in suitable attire is the responsibility of all students and staff. There are three main principles underlying student dress code:

1. student dress must reflect norms and expectations of any international school with students of a variety of cultural backgrounds; students are expected to wear clothing that does not diminish or offend any other person’s cultural beliefs;

2. students are expected to be dressed in such a manner that they appear neat and tidy at all times and do not distract from the learning environment in the classroom;*

3. students are expected to dress according to the weather; this is important so that students can participate fully in outdoor play and activities at recess or for PE;**

*For example, any clothing that draws undue attention; T-shirts with inappropriate slogans.

**Students must have a set of PE clothes to change into. They should arrive to school properly dressed for the weather: gloves/mittens, hat, appropriate winter coat, scarf.
