Uniform

At CHA we believe that wearing a  uniform promotes peer acceptance and school pride, lessens the emphasis on fashion, enhances academic focus, and makes life easier for parents. Dress Uniform is required on Mondays (unless its a PE day), picture day and on most field trips. Other days, standard uniform options may be worn.

Several days each year we have “free dress” days which are announced in advance. Uniforms are also not required during intersessions or camp.

Parent FAQ’s

  • Should we get dress uniforms as well as daily uniforms? You  need at least one set of dress uniform. Normally students wear dress uniform on Mondays, and for school trips, photographs, festivals etc. The rest of the week you can wear dress uniform, or  the daily uniform which includes the khaki skirt/pants/shorts, the navy jumper and the blue or green shirts.
  • What is the Uniform Swap? The Uniform Swap is a room here at school where parents drop off gently used uniform that their children have grown out of. You can request items from the swap for your child, which are free of charge.  Learn more.
  • How many uniforms should I buy? Your child will need one set of dress uniform, two sets of PE uniform (students do PE twice a week and stay in their PE uniform all day), and two sets of the daily uniform. 
  • Which vendor should I use? The black watch plaid jumpers, skirts and skorts are only available from Dennis Uniform. For the green logo’d sweaters, cardigans and sweater vests as the Dennis Uniform ones have a higher manmade fiber content, keep their color, wear better and last longer, but the Land's End ones are softer. Dennis also have socks, tights and uniform hair accessories. Items like khaki pants and plain navy track pants can also be found at non-uniform stores.
  • How long does uniform take to arrive? Land's End orders should arrive in 10 to 14 business days for logo'd items with standard shipping,  and 11 to 15 business days for logos + hemming with standard shipping. We strongly recommend using the sizing guidelines on this website to avoid ordering the wrong size the first time around.
  • Can the personalized sweatshirt be worn to school as part of the uniform or is this only on PE day? The personalized sweatshirt can only be worn on PE days. For the rest of the week, students should be in Dress Uniform (Mondays) or Standard Uniform, neither of which includes a sweatshirt option.
