Lower School Uniforms
Lower School Uniform Policy:
The purpose of the MPA Lower School uniform policy is to reduce competition
over status and place all students on an equal platform. We de-emphasize
keeping up with the latest fashions and trying to out-do peers. We believe the
substance of a person should send a stronger message than appearance. All
students are required to come to school in clean, well cared for uniforms that
display no monograms, emblems, labels, or designs. Thank you for your cooperation!

Uniform Choices
An attempt has been made to offer some choices within the basic uniform. However, there are no additions or variations in color or design. All uniforms should not have emblems, monograms or designs. All pieces of the uniform should be clearly marked with the child’s name.
