School Uniform

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.
