Uniforms

Standards of Dress:

The basic guidelines for school apparel are modesty and neatness. As we seek to glorify God and reflect Christ, we acknowledge that moderation in dress lends itself to the expression of I Peter 3:3-4, which states that “beauty should not come from outward adornment” but the “inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”

It is the desire of Williamsburg Christian Academy that students reflect a wholesome Christian testimony in every way. Research indicates that there is a definite relationship between good dress habits, good work habits and proper school behavior.
