Five reasons we wear uniforms at Northside Christian School
- Uniforms identify students as part of our school, our family, our team. The colors of the uniform attire and NCS logo-wear show others that we identify with each other and with Northside Christian School.
- We seek to provide a setting free from harm and distractions. We want students’ clothing to be a background feature, and not a cause for attention.
- Uniforms help foster self-discipline and readiness for learning. Appropriate dress shows respect for the school (and work) environment and the people you interact with.
- We want to accurately reflect our Savior in every way before one another and in our community. Our uniform and non-uniform guidelines follow Biblical principles for dress.
- Our uniform code is flexible enough to be parent-friendly, but strict enough to accomplish our other objectives.
