High School Dress Code

We support the idea that ISB students should be able to express themselves as individuals whilst not detracting from the school as a learning environment.  In an EC-12 international school with a diversity of cultures, we also have to be mindful of the wide range of cultural attitudes towards clothing.  We expect student clothes, makeup, and hairstyles to be appropriate for school.  Students are expected to abide by the school’s dress code, and we ask for parental assistance in monitoring this. 

The points below are not meant to be exhaustive but are guidelines for what is inappropriate for school.

·        Immodest attire (short skirts/shorts*, backless, low or halter tops, spaghetti straps)

·        Visible underwear, whether on view or under see-through clothing

·        Torn or ripped clothes, including  jeans, that show skin beneath

·        Bare midriffs

·        Clothing or jewelry depicting profane, suggestive, drug or alcohol-related words or images

·        Sunglasses worn inside the school buildings

The article of clothing should be at, or below, your fingertips with your arms hanging loosely by your side.

Headwear [bandana, hats, caps, scarves] may be worn inside the school buildings.  However, within the classroom or teaching space this is at the discretion of the teacher.

The dress code applies during school hours, for after school co-curricular activities and when the student is representing the school.  It may be relaxed as appropriate for on or off campus activities where the nature of the activity demands an adaptation of attire. 

Students who are in violation of the dress code will be addressed by teachers or administration and given the chance to comply with the dress code by changing or adding clothes.  Continued dress-code violations will be reported to the Assistant Principal  for further action.
