Dress Code
Students of elementary and high school attending Madison Academy wear uniforms, or so-called "Spirit Wear". Unlike most school uniforms, MA has a fairly large selection of garments for both boys and girls. (ex. either pants or skirts for girls, button-up or polo shirts for boys) Each article of clothing is emblazoned with the MA logo, and most garments consist of one (or more) of the school colors.Children attending Little MA, however, do not wear uniforms, as it is commonly agreed that kindergarten is too young of an age to wear uniforms. Instead, they are allowed to wear their own clothing.
