Student Dress Code

We kindly ask that all students adhere to the specific uniforms designated in the Student Handbook. All Academy students (new & returning) should now be transitioned into the new uniforms established for the 2016-2017 Academy Year.

For Academy Director, Sarah Hairston "unity in the classroom is so important. It allows each student to feel part of the group and for instructors to spot technical errors and offer constructive feedback. It has been so exciting for us to walk through the halls and see our students dressed in the uniforms carefully chosen for them."

Class Registration

Registration for the 2016-2017 Academy Year is now closed. 

Academy families, now that registration is closed, current student schedule change requests will only be honored under extenuating circumstances.
