Uniforms and Dress Code


General Principles

Students are expected to present a polished and professional appearance at all times. Students must wear the regulation school uniform purchased from the school’s designated supplier. Skirts should be no shorter than approximately 3″ above the knee.

Uniforms should be cleaned, in good condition, and properly hemmed when necessary. Severe shaven-type haircuts are forbidden as are painted streaks and/or glitter in the hair. Any type of facial piercing, or tattoos, are strictly forbidden.

Requests to wear non-regulation shoes for an extended period must be submitted to Mrs. Feilke, Vice Principal of Student Affairs. Such requests must be accompanied by a note from a physician explaining the reason for the request. The school reserves the right to define what is appropriate school appearance.

PE Uniform

VMA navy PE sweatshirt, sweatpants, navy shorts and shirt. Purchase your required PE uniform at the Campus Store. Please note that all students will need a PE uniform, regardless of if they are registered for a physical education class, because it is also required for seasonal pep rallies.

Outerwear During School Hours

Students are permitted to wear specified BLUE Villa Maria outerwear on campus. Non-Villa Maria logos, including colleges, are not permitted. There are designated special days when non-blue Villa gear will be allowed.

When necessary, acceptable outerwear may be worn to travel between buildings. However, jackets or sweatshirts with offensive logos are not permitted on the VMA campus.
