SCHOOL POLICIES 

DRESS CODE 

    GCA is a place for growing in wisdom, spirit, knowledge, and maturity, where we strive to honor God in our actions and words. Romans 12:2 encourages us to be in the world, but not 
of it. We should look different, and we ask that all in attendance behave accordingly. 
    The following dress code guidelines have been thoughtfully considered, and approved by the GCA Board and Administrator. The school Administrator has final authority over appropriate student dress and grooming. 
     Clothing should always be neat, modest, and appropriately sized. It should display honor to God, and respect to the individual student and others. 
Supervising teachers may designate a specific dress code for class, field trips, or special events, with administrator approval. Otherwise, students are expected to follow dress code guidelines while on campus.
