As a private school, Salem Christian Academy maintains the right to establish a dress code for its students. By this dress code, we hope to: (1) create an atmosphere that is conducive to learning; (2) establish habits of self-discipline; and (3) promote a positive self-image. Compliance to this code is MANDATORY. Salem Christian Academy requires all its students to conform to the dress code during all school hours (Before/Afterschool included). Violations of this dress code will warrant disciplinary action including dismissal from school.
