Darlington School maintains an official standard of dress, complete with a school uniform that must be worn every day. School uniforms avoid fashion fads, eliminating the self-consciousness and social competition which popular fashion tends to promote, reduce a family’s clothing expenditures, and ensure the simple attractiveness of the student body as a whole. The implementation of the Dress Code is designed to encourage everyone to focus attention on what is inside a student rather than on outward appearance.
Students should be in uniform when they arrive on campus, and their overall appearance should be neat, clean, well-groomed, and modest. Faculty members and advisors are expected to correct and report any uniform infractions.
Students who violate the hair policy will be given one week to become compliant. Students who violate the Dress Code may be restricted from attending class until the situation can be rectified by adjustment or notification of parent to bring appropriate clothing.
