STUDENT DRESS CODE

At Cambridge Christian School, we believe that student appearance and attire must reflect that they study in a Christian learning
environment. In keeping with biblical teaching, their appearance should be characterized by modesty and cleanliness.

Cambridge Christian School does not require a student uniform for our students; rather, we support parental responsibility in the
area of student dress and appearance. The school provides guidelines for student dress appearance and the parents shall ensure
that their students are dressed appropriately.
