PURPOSE

At GCCA, our dress code is designed to reflect our Christian values by encouraging modesty, respect, and readiness for learning. While we value individual expression, students are expected to present themselves in a way that honors God and promotes a focused, distraction-free educational environment.

 

These standards also reflect how we want our students to represent the school community, especially within the unique mountain environment we call home.
