Uniform
Students at Friends Academy are required to abide by a dress code. For boys in the high school, this requires wearing a button down shirt that is tucked in, a tie, dress pants with a belt, and dress shoes. For girls in the high school, this requires wearing a collared shirt, pants or a skirt that do not extend above the knee, and appropriate footwear. It is prohibited for students to wear sweatpants, sweatshirts, jeans, and/or hats, unless given permission. Sport jackets are asked to be worn by boys during special occasions. The uniform is mainly consistent for students in the middle and lower school, however the option to wear a polo instead of a dress shirt is offered.

The great grey rigid uniform combined
Safety with virtue of the sun.
Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”
