Rationale for Uniforms
Before Global Village Academy first opened it’s doors, the Founding Families voted in favor of a mandatory school uniform dress code. These families wanted the best for their children; high academic standards, global citizenship and a safe, learning environment for every student. Research has shown that schools who require school uniforms increase safety by identifying tresspassers, reduce social and economic status by promoting equality and improve academic performance by increasing student’s attention towards their studies.

Global Village Academy understands and is aware of the families who have financial difficulties. Please contact the GVA MarketPlace for assistance. We would also like to ask our wonderful GVA families to donate outgrown uniforms to help support other students in need.

Global Village Academy respects and honors all religious beliefs. If your religion dictates a certain type of dress (ex: head cover, scarves, etc.), please contact school administration. We will gladly accommodate your student.
