DRESS CODE

The Hun School is proud of its tradition of having neat and properly attired students. School dress codes provide students practice with possible workplace or social dress expectations that most will encounter during their post education careers and help create a respectful culture that encourages integrity and respect. The School dress code is intended to reflect the seriousness of purpose we associate with academic pursuits. This principle should guide any item of dress, regardless if specifically listed below. We trust that students will aspire to look their best, and represent themselves and Hun to the best of their ability. In our community we share the responsibility that School dress and any reference to it be inclusive and kind to all, leaving room for diversity in all its forms, including gender expression and traditional religious beliefs.

Like any real-world setting, the occasion should also dictate formality of dress. As such, we expect our students to be guided by the standards below and think critically when selecting School attire.

Academic Dress is intended to reflect moderate business attire and is in place during regular class days, community dinners, and School trips as required by trip leaders. The academic day, which runs from 8:25 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on most days, constitutes the students’ business hours and during this time, students are expected to be in Academic Dress as described below.
