Students are expected to be well-groomed at all times and to wear their uniform during school hours. Wearing the SMA school uniform fosters a sense of belonging to the Academy community.
The SMA uniform, with the exception of shoes, must be purchased from the Tartan Shop at the school. Students have a variety of mix and match options for winter and summer.
Regulation
Uniform
The regulation uniform may be worn all year. It consists of a blue plaid kilt, white oxford button down collar shirt with short or long sleeves, navy knee socks, navy tights or navy panty hose, and navy or black dress shoes. No canvas shoes, runners, boots or sandals. Shoes must have a closed toe, closed back and a heel height of less than 4 cm.
Students may also purchase a regulation sweater, available in cardigan, pullover or sleeveless vest, and a regulation tie.
Students must wear full regulation uniform to all Mass celebrations.
Summer
Option
Students may choose two options for the Summer from May 1 to Thanksgiving. One summer option includes a navy or white regulation polo (golf) shirt (with SMA logo) which can be worn with the regulation kilt. The second summer option is the navy light-weight skirt which can be worn with either a white uniform blouse or the polo shirt with navy knee highs, and regulation shoes.
Winter Option
Students may choose to wear regulation grey or navy pants with a white uniform blouse and regulation shoes. Pants are available through the Tartan Shop. Cost of pants is $38 plus applicable taxes.
Casual Days
Throughout the year students enjoy several casual days when they're not required to wear the uniform. On casual day, students and staff are asked to make a $2 donation for the privilege of dressing in casual clothes. The following clothing items are not permitted:
- transparent clothing
- tank, halter or tube top
- flip flops
- exposed midriff
- short shorts
- mini-skirt
