Uniform Policy
The Wilmington Christian Academy dress code seeks to achieve a relaxed but neat appearance for our students to free them from fashion trends and peer pressure. Dress code infractions will result in a policy reminder for K, and a demerit for 1-12. Proper attire is required before a student may rejoin his class and a parent may be asked to bring approved clothing to the Academy office. Teachers are responsible to enforce the WCA dress code through the school’s disciplinary procedures.
