Student Dress Code & Uniform Policy

Please review these guidelines with your children before the start of the school year.

Dress Code Policy

Edep Academy Homeschool expects all students to follow an appropriate dress code. Proper attire allows the school to promote an environment conducive to learning and helps in teaching students to respect themselves as well as others. Clothing should not disrupt the learning environment. Students must dress in a way where their appearance will not draw attention, distract, or interfere with the learning and teaching in the classroom.

No clothing will be allowed that defames, degrades, or is offensive to a gender, race, color, religious creed, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, age, a physical or mental impairment, or culture.

Uniform Guideline

Edep Academy students are required to follow the school dress code. Students should wear a polo shirt and pants. If girls do not prefer to wear pants and a shirt, they may wear a tunic or long skirt instead. Details for each uniform category are below.
