Uniforms
Cherokee Classical Academy requires students to wear uniforms to eliminate distractions, level the playing field, and remind ourselves that we are doing important work. Students must dress according to the appropriate uniform boards below and adhere to the dress-related regulations. We work to ensure that uniforms are comfortable, attractive, durable, and affordable. Click below to shop our Uniform Store.
Please contact uniforms@cherokeeclassicalacademy.org with any questions.
Be sure to place all uniform orders no later than July 22. After this date, we cannot guarantee that your uniforms will be shipped in time for the first day of school.
The uniform store will be open online for the duration of the school year, and parents are welcome to order additional items at any time, including outerwear. The July 22 deadline is only to ensure uniform items are shipped in time for the first day of school.
