Uniforms

All students at Saint Christopher Academy wear uniforms. Saint Christopher Academy believes that school uniforms create an environment of respect and dignity and offer a wide variety of benefits for both students and parents, including:

1. School uniforms help students focus on learning, rather than on what they are wearing.
2. School uniforms nourish a sense of equality so students can stand out because of their character and not their clothes. 
3. School uniforms promote a feeling of community among students who are proud to be part of a team working toward success in the classroom. 
4. School uniforms make it easier to get ready for school and students start their day on a more positive note.
5. School uniforms encourage modesty and cleanliness and prepare students for wearing appropriate clothing once they enter the workforce.
6. School uniforms are more affordable in the long run, especially as uniform pieces are passed down from child to child within a family or within the community.
