Dress Code
S
TKA’s Philosophy
 TKA is committed to partnering with parents
to teach students how to honor Christ at all
times. Students’ clothing should show
respect for themselves, their families, and
their school.
 Students are expected to choose clothing that is
modest, in good taste, appropriate for the
classroom and avoids extremes in fashion.
