2009-2010 Dress Code

Developing Christian character includes learning discipline in the area of clothing. We believe that the way we dress influences our conduct and is a testimony to people around us. Christian Family Academy staff have set guidelines which we hope will be economical and easy to follow. It is the student and parent's responsibility to make sure clothing guidelines are followed.
