Dress Code-General Information

The Torah considers an individual’s appearance to be a reflection of his/her sense of קדושה  and  צלם אלוקים. As such, the MJBHA dress code reflects the school’s commitment to these Torah values, and the concepts of צניעות and כבוד הבריות. The dress code helps to create an environment in the Upper School that reflects our values as Orthodox Jews and our respect for our educational environment. To achieve this end, we are to be aware constantly of how we are impacted by our surroundings and how others are impacted by the way in which we dress. Not only do we hope to reflect our own inner dignity in our clothing choices, but we also hope to provide our fellow students and staff an environment that promotes the propriety apropos of a school that is both a respectful community and also a מקום תורה.

Students, including seniors through graduation, are required to conform to the dress code upon arrival at the campus through their departure from the premises.

This dress code applies to all school days including examination days, study days, and field trip days. The extracurricular dress code also applies to all attendees of school events such as athletic events, and attendees of rehearsals and participants of rehearsals, performances and practices.
