Dress Code

Ready to Learn. Ready to Serve.

High Point Baptist Academy's dress code is based on biblical principles of modesty, purity, and self-control. It aims to create a respectful learning environment, minimize distractions from trends and cliques, and prepare students for professional settings. By standardizing dress, the school helps students focus on their character and faith, reflecting a commitment to honoring God and striving for excellence. The goal is for students to be "Ready To Learn and Ready To Serve."

To reflect our commitment to excellence and honoring God, High Point Baptist Academy's dress code helps students and staff begin each day "Ready To Learn and Ready To Serve."
