Purpose of the Uniform

Our uniform policy helps to:

  • Promote simplicity, equality, and a strong sense of school identity

  • Encourage age-appropriate, modest, and purposeful dress

  • Create a calm and focused learning atmosphere for all students

Friday Sunnah Dress Day

Fridays offer a special opportunity for students to joyfully connect with Islamic tradition through Sunnah dress.

  • Girls are encouraged to wear a closed abaya and hijab

  • Boys are encouraged to wear a thobe and kufi

Friday Sunnah Dress Day fosters comfort and pride in Islamic identity within a safe, supportive environment. As students mature, this weekly rhythm allows them to naturally grow into outward expressions of faith with confidence, dignity, and joy.
