As an academic community devoted to a common principle, Saint James’ Episcopal School prides itself upon the bond of our unity. Traditionally, schools of excellence have celebrated such fellowship, both within the school and throughout the greater community, through a shared code of dress incorporating the colors of the school. We have established such a uniform here at Saint James’ with an expressed goal that all students may simultaneously take pride in wearing the uniform of their school and recognize the unique attributes that exist within each individual.

A committee of parents and SJES School Board members worked to establish a uniform policy for all elementary students. Students enrolled in the Saint James’ Episcopal School elementary program and their families are expected to follow the uniform requirements outlined in the policy. Cold and hot weather options are detailed, and may be worn according to the judgment of the parents.

Our vendor is Tommy Hilfiger Uniforms.  All uniform items must be purchased through Tommy Hilfiger Uniforms unless otherwise noted.
