Montessori School Dress Code

Updates for the 2022-23 Academic Year:

After review and consultations with vendors, the principals of the Montessori, Lower and Middle Schools are pleased to inform our families that we will return to the Lands’ End company as our main dress code supplier for the 2022-23 academic year.

• We procured a thoughtful variety of options when it comes to the selection of tops, bottoms, and dresses, while respecting the physical growth and development of all our students. 
• Additionally, beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, we will fully transition to the Nardin brand color palette as well as the sole usage of our new logo on all of our polos and dresses. 
• The colors and logo were adopted as part of our branding project which was completed in 2020.

Upper School Dress Code

Updates for the 2022-23 Academic Year 

After much consideration, a review of a student survey results, and discussions with the Board of Trustees and the Daughters of the Heart of Mary, Nardin’s Upper School will transition to a formalized dress code starting at the beginning of the 2022-23 academic year. Making these adjustments to a more formalized dress code will help us promote our ONE Nardin Community and foster a sense of school pride and identity. 

• As with the remainder of the Academy, the formalized dress code for the Upper School will be supplied by Lands’ End. 
• The Upper School store will reflect more mature wardrobe options for our older students and will offer a wide variety of skirts, pants and tops. 
• The Upper School will continue to offer students the opportunity to have dress down days as well as dress in Nardinware. 
• Specific information on the formalized dress code will be forthcoming in the Student Handbook for the 2022-23 academic year.  

Our hope is that as we transition our approach to the dress code across the entire Academy, we deepen our sense of community and further develop our school spirit for future generations of Nardin students.
