Le Croix Academy Student Dress Code
Here at Le Croix Academy we require that all students strictly adhere to our Student Dress Code so that the students’ body lines are visible to the instructors for proper correction and instruction. Modesty is also a priority within the Academy, therefore, we do not allow students to have exposed midriffs or wear booty shorts inside the Academy or in the parking lot. Please find your class(es) in the list below to view the Dress Code requirements.
Please Note: We understand that it may not be possible to be in full dress code the first week you attend classes, so we ask that you please be sure to gather all items needed so that the student can begin adhering to our dress code by no later than the second week of class.
