Dress Code Philosophy
Rockbridge Academy seeks to glorify God in both the character and culture of the school. The manner of dress and personal grooming of students should reflect the Christian, classical, and scholarly image of Rockbridge Academy. The expectation is cheerful and consistent compliance with uniforms from the parents and students, and correspondingly cheerful and consistent enforcement by the school staff.
The Dress Code Policy is an expression of the following values: unity, simplicity, order, and modesty. Consistently following the code contributes to the learning atmosphere by lessening distraction. The uniform, by design, is non-conspicuous and free of trends that are associated with social status. Compliance with the code is a daily challenge to students to place others before themselves.
Uniform
The Rockbridge Academy uniform standard includes a required Dress Uniform for the Upper School, a required Field Trip Uniform for the Grammar School and a Daily Wear option for all students.
Upper School students are required to wear the Dress Uniform whenever a student is giving a speech or oral presentation, when going on field trips or attending in-school assemblies, and when directed by the principal for appropriate school events. The Dress Uniform may also be worn on any other day of the school year.
Grammar students are required to wear the Field Trip Uniform for Monday Morning Catechism, on field trips, and for special events and ceremonies as instructed by their teachers.
