Uniforms
Since its inception, Redwood Classical Academy has been committed to uniform clothing for its students for four fundamental benefits. First, uniforms prevent the application of subjective standards of dress in the classroom. Second, uniforms are a positive influence in our organization. RCA places particular value on creating a particular learning environment and culture. A child learns that when he is wearing an RCA uniform, he will be engaging in studious activity. This environment makes it easier for the RCA staff to complete its primary task – the education of children. Third, uniforms encourage a community spirit, where individuality is sacrificed for the good of the group. This removes the potential distraction of what clothing other students are wearing. This also sets our group of students apart from homeschool organizations, encouraging each student to operate as a part of a body, much like an athletic or military group identified by common dress. And Lastly, uniforms promote safety of children.
We only require students wear a RCA top and their shorts or pants be modest and appropriate for the season and weather. Shoes must be closed toe with a closed or strap heel.
Starting at our Back to School Open House and anytime throughout the year, RCA T-shirts can be purchased from $15-18 and paid via Venmo. -OR- This year we have partnered with Lands End to have uniforms to be sent directly to your home! Lands End has a lot of choices for students as we do not wish to inhibit a child’s individuality or creativity. You can purchase here! **If you purchase from June 28 to July 14th you can get the RCA logo put on for a penny (typically price is $6)! CODE: ERASER1 (that is the word eraser with the number 1 after).
