Uniforms
Ivy Hall Academy students wear a prescribed uniform to develop a sense of professionalism toward academic activities, create cohesion among the student body, and encourage appropriate behavior. When we look our best, it helps us feel our best, so that we can be confident as we learn. All students at Ivy Hall, Preschool through 12th, wear the school uniform.
