Uniform Guidelines
All 3rd through 8th grade boys (see guidelines for Primary School boys in panel below) must wear one of several military uniforms on a daily basis, as part of the school's military leadership program. By requiring cadets to wear identical, well-kept uniforms and maintaining a specific standard of grooming, the military program reinforces two cardinal principles that have served as part of the institution’s philosophical foundation: pride in personal appearance is a precursor to pride in performance; and all SAA boys are intrinsically equal.
