Aside from our campus, nothing identifies Forman School as a traditional New England boarding and day school as much as the dress code. The idea behind it is that students learn to dress appropriately for different situations and to carry themselves in a professional way in class.
On Formal Mondays, students wear a button-down shirt and skirt, dress, or dress-pants and a blazer or dress shoes, blazers, Oxford shirts, ties, and khakis. No flip-flops or sneakers are allowed and shirts are tucked in. This isn’t a uniform, but there is a Forman style that looks clean and prep-school preppy. On Tuesday through Saturday, while blazers are not required, the wardrobe is still a professional and elevated look.
Distinctions between types of clothing help define the number of roles that students transition through during the school day: scholar, athlete, dorm community member etc. Forman School recognizes the individuality of personal appearance, and expects members to dress and act in a respectful manner at all times. It is the responsibility of the students and their parents to ensure that students dress according to school standards, and of the faculty to enforce those standards.
