Dress Code

Dress code policies, requirements, and approved vendor information.

MCA's dress code is designed to foster belonging, reduce distractions, and support a positive learning environment rooted in honoring God.

Approved Dress Code Vendors

Key Requirements

  • Clothing must completely cover undergarments at all times — while sitting, standing, and bending
  • No hoods, hats, caps, or sunglasses during the school day

Dress Code Updates / Clarifications

  • Light-up shoes—light-up shoes are not permitted for PreK students as it is distracting during rest time
