Dress Code
Christ’s Church Academy seeks to partner with parents in all phases of the educational process. The CCA dress code has been designed to reflect the principles of modesty and foster a school culture that minimizes distractions to the instructional environment. All students are required to follow the dress code while on school grounds.
CCA school uniform policy has been updated for the 2025-2026 school year. Poindexter Uniform Co is our official uniform provider.
Shipping times: Poindexter processing time for orders is 3-5 business days. BSN orders fulfill every 2 weeks.
General Guidelines
- Parents are expected to be the first to enforce the CCA dress code.
- Students are expected to arrive on campus in dress code-appropriate clothing and ready for class.
- All clothing should be clean and in good repair. Clothing with holes, rips, or tears should not be worn.
- CCA campus wear must be free of all logos other than school logos approved by the administration.
- Shorts, skirts, and jumpers must be knee length – fingertip length. Leggings and tights may only be worn under knee-length skirts or jumpers.
- Only approved CCA outerwear may be worn during the school day. All other jackets, coats, sweatshirts (hooded, pullover, or zippered), or shirts worn as jackets, and other forms of outerwear may not be worn during the school day.
- CCA uniform approved pullovers may be worn during school hours with a uniform shirt underneath.
- Dress and hair should not be distracting to teachers or students.
- Hair should be of natural color, clean, and neatly maintained. Boys should be clean-shaven with sideburns not extending below the ear. The length of boys’ hair may not extend below the shoulders and should not be worn in ponytails or buns (Note: exceptions for the length of boys’ hair for ethnic and cultural considerations may be granted on a case-by-case basis with prior administrator approval).
- Girls’ make-up should be natural in appearance and not distracting. Boys are not permitted to wear make-up.
- Hats and head coverings are not to be worn in the building.
- Students must wear a belt with a buckle no more than 2 inches with pants or shorts that have belt loops. Belts are optional for students in kindergarten through second grade. Belts should be a solid color.
- All students must wear appropriate footwear (slippers, Crocs, Ugg boots, and similar footwear items are not permitted). Students must wear closed-toed and closed-heeled shoes for safety reasons.
- No body piercing jewelry is to be worn at school or school-related events. Only girls may wear earrings.
- Students will not be allowed to cover inappropriate dress with a jacket or other types of outerwear.
- The administration reserves the right to make decisions on items not specifically listed in the CCA dress code.
CCA expects parents to support the dress code and the school’s enforcement of the dress code in a non-confrontational and non-defensive manner. Middle and high school students in violation of the dress code will receive a warning and must immediately correct the dress in one of the following ways:
- Change into dress code-appropriate clothing that is in the student’s possession on campus or available for purchase in the school Spirit Shop.
- Call a parent for dress code-appropriate clothing.
Note: Students will not be allowed to return to class if they are in violation of the dress code. Upper school students will be counted absent if they miss more than 50% of the class period.
Physical Education Uniforms
All upper school students must wear a P.E. uniform for all physical education classes. P.E. uniforms consist of a CCA shirt and shorts and are available at the Campus Kickoff event and through the CCA Spirit Shop. Students in P.E. classes must also wear socks and appropriate tennis shoes.
Spirit Wear Fridays – Lower and Upper School
Unless otherwise noted, all Fridays are CCA Spirit Wear days.
Students may wear approved CCA Spirit Wear or Christ’s Church branded tops. Students may also wear jeans on Friday – note: jeans that are ripped, torn, or do not fit properly (excessively tight or baggy) are not appropriate.
CCA Spirit Wear is available through the Spirit Shop in the Welcome Center or through the online BSN Team and/or school spirit stores.
Students choosing not to wear CCA Spirit Wear on Fridays must dress in the regular school uniform.
Dress Code for Special School Events
Special school events may require students to follow additional dress code guidelines. Parents and students will be provided with specific guidelines regarding appropriate dress for these events. Special school events include but are not limited to the following: concerts/performances, awards day, graduation ceremonies, field trips, spiritual retreat, etc. Students not following the dress guidelines for special school events will be asked to change into appropriate apparel or be denied the privilege of participating in the event.
Dress Code for Game Days and Athletic Events
Student athletes may wear their CCA team t-shirt, quarter zip, or full zip top with uniform bottoms on game days. All players must wear the same top on game days.
While we want students to show school spirit and enjoy supporting CCA athletics, student dress at athletic events should be modest and appropriate for the setting. Students should not wear clothing that is excessively revealing.
