Dress Code

Bonneville Academy’s dress code was created to assist the school have a fun, dynamic, consistent environment while enjoying the benefits of a uniform including improved behavior, increased security and fewer disciplinary issues.

Students shall dress modestly, maintain a clean, orderly, and neat appearance, and exercise good grooming and personal hygiene habits.
