Dress Code

Maria Montessori Academy (the “School”) focuses on the inner development of the child’s mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-­­being. Therefore, we seek to limit undue focus on external appearances. 

Betiwyn Holcombe, a Montessori expert, best expresses the School’s dress code focus, “A child who wants to shine needs to focus on shining from their mind not from what he or she puts on their body.”
