Student Dress Code

The dress code for St. Andrew’s students is in effect from the beginning of classes in the morning to the completion of classes at the end of the academic day. A free period is not an adequate reason for not meeting the requirements of the dress code. Number 1 or Number 2 Dress shall be worn during these times. Boarding or day students dressed inappropriately will be sent to their rooms or the Campus Shop, respectively, in order to change into, or purchase, the appropriate dress clothing.
