The Academy for Character Education
Uniforms and Dress Code
ACE has adopted uniforms to encourage a tasteful and modest learning environment. ACE provides, at no cost to the family, two complete school uniforms each year. On Tuesday and Thursday between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, students on campus must be in uniform.
​
On Tuesdays, students wear the “professional” uniform. On Thursdays, students wear ACE-provided polos to coordinate with their team colors. Students are to wear nice black bottoms (non-ripped pants or skirt; no shorts) on any given school day. Any belt, hosiery or shoe color/style is acceptable.
Seniors have the option of wearing business attire instead of the regular uniform. Business attire consists of the following:
-
Button-up shirts
-
Khakis / capris
-
Polos
-
Sweaters
-
(Men) Tucked in shirt with belt
-
(Women) Skirts/dresses knee length or below
-
Well-kept shoes
Not Business attire:
-
Shorts
-
Jeans
-
T-Shirts
-
Hoodies
-
Leggings

Pre-Reader & Grammar students will wear grey polo (Tuesdays) or colored House polo (Thursdays); black pleated skirt/jumper or pants; red sweater (only required during Character Assembly on Tuesdays)
Dialectic – Rhetoric will wear white oxford shirt and tie (Tuesdays) or colored House polo (Thursdays); black skirt or pants.
Dialectic 1 & 2 will wear red sweaters (only required during Character Assembly on Tuesdays).
Dialectic 3 and Rhetoric will wear red blazers (only required during Character Assembly on Tuesdays).
Other Dress Code guidelines:
-
Girls may wear leggings under skirts (leggings may not be worn alone as “pants”).
-
No hats/head coverings unless worn for religious or medical reasons.
-
Should a student arrive minus uniform, staff will provide uniform pieces for students to dress themselves in.
-
Unless otherwise notified, all extra events/days are “No Uniform Required” days, except for the Year-End program & 4th Week Homework Club. Modest casual attire is permitted.
