HCA Uniform Policy

While it is true that uniforms cannot change someone's heart to love modesty, anymore than the speed limit makes one drive slower, safe speeds, they do provide dress boundaries. Our uniform policies are stated in the Grammar and Secondary handbooks for each school. These documents are located on the documents page. Uniforms provide several things for the students and the school and they also eliminate unnecessary problems:

  1. Uniforms provide “uniformity” that is, they provide a common school identity for all students.
  2. Uniforms support school spirit.
  3. Uniforms eliminate the temptation for self-exploitation. Because everyone is wearing the same type and style clothes, class and social distinctions are removed. No one is made to feel less than anyone else because of clothing styles or where their mothers shop.
  4. They eliminate the temptation to display the body in an immodest way.

Most of the clothing options for Heritage Classical Academy may be purchased at JC Penny (IZODwear), Hall Closet Uniforms or Educational Outfitters (Greenville, SC).
