APPROPRIATE DRESS

Purpose of Life Academy is concerned with the appearance as well as the behavior of students. Students are required to wear the school uniform. If you have any questions, staff members will guide you. The current dress code is as follows:

SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY

We expect all of our students to work diligently to attain the best collegiate opportunity they can possibly reach. Many issues influence that success. Atmosphere (where you are), Aptitude (what you know and what you learn), and Attitude (what you believe) all have a major impact on achievement. We believe that an important part of our POLA Atmosphere is our uniform. Our standard uniform for Bumblebees, Tigers, and Dolphins (for young ladies and young gentlemen) consists of:

  • Logo blue slacks

  • White, Gold, Light Blue logo golf shirt (short sleeve)

  • Plain, white, short-sleeved tee-shirt underneath (if desired)

  • Logo blue, sleeveless logo sweater vest

  • Black dress shoes with red rubber soles

  • Plain black leather belt (no additional colors, studs, or decorations)

As an option, young ladies may choose a blue kilt or blue skirt (all kilts should behemmed at the knee with modest, appropriate hose). Knit leggings and pants that show underneath these articles of clothing are not allowed.

School Age Students will adhere to the uniform below:

Girls

  • plaid uniform skirt or kilt

  • plain, white oxford shirt with logo (short sleeve), neatly tucked in

  • grey/blue logo sweater

  • uniform tie

  • peter pan shoes with rubber soles

  • black leather belt (no additional colors, studs, or decorations)

Boys

  • logo grey slacks

  • plain, white oxford shirt with logo (short sleeve), neatly tucked in

  • grey/blue logo sweater

  • uniform tie

Students may substitute a white logo golf shirt on Friday’s with uniform bottom. Students may also elect to wear a grey cardigan or logo sweater on cooler days.
