CDS students are expected to be neat, clean, and ready to learn. Students are to wear collared shirts, including polo’s and button-downs. Turtlenecks and hemstitched shirts (that are not t-shirts) are also permitted. Shirts with tails are to be tucked into pants. Students are permitted to wear sweaters and dresses that do not require a collar.

All dresses, skirts, and shorts are to be no shorter than fingertip length. Fully zipped fleece jackets are permitted, as are rubber-soled shoes (sneakers). Jeans or denim of any kind, t-shirts, tank tops, sweat clothes (including sweatshirts worn as jackets), and flip flops are not permitted except on days designated by the Head of School.
