We encourage grooming habits that will present a modest, wholesome, and healthy Christian appearance. The idea behind Riverview Academy’s dress code is to create a climate of caring and learning through interactive classroom instruction. We believe the way a student presents himself/herself in cleanliness and outer attire has an influence on their scholastic achievement, their self-esteem, and acceptance by their peers.
