Uniform Orders can be placed online through JB Edward Uniforms by clicking here.

NOTE: Students are expected to be dressed for the business of learning. Consequently, it is mandatory that all students arrive at school in full dress code; that their uniforms be neat, clean, in good condition, and appropriately sized. Any student deemed by a faculty or staff member to be out of dress code will receive a dress code violation, a copy of which will be given to the Assistant Headmaster for Student Life.
Parents and students are urged to label each item of clothing, especially sweaters, fleeces and all outerwear with the student’s name for easy identification if lost.

The dress code will be strictly enforced according to the following guidelines:
