Most Fridays, students may wear any school-appropriate American Academy spirit top from any American Academy activity. Please refer to the school event calendar for exact dates. This includes extracurricular clubs, sports, or trips (examples are the annual Field Day, a STEM trip, a musical theater events or play, or broadcasting club, etc). Spirit tops must be worn with regular uniform bottoms (skirts, skorts, pants, shorts, etc.) -- parents are encouraged to read the Student Uniform Policy and be aware of any other Spirit Day limitations.

 

American Academy has lots of opportunities and activities where students may acquire spirit tops throughout each year! Additionally, we have a Spirit Gear Store where parents can purchase branded American Academy clothing and other items (only tops are allowed to be worn to school on Spirit Days).

 

Spirit Days are optional. Students who wish to may wear regular uniform tops on Spirit Days instead.

American Academy has one Dress of Choice Day each month and it typically takes place (though not always) on the last school-day Friday of the month. Please refer to the school event calendar for exact dates. On Dress of Choice Days, students may wear school-appropriate street clothes (head-to-toe!) of their choice to school instead of their student uniform. All other student grooming rules apply. Parents should refer to the Student Uniform Policy for specific Dress of Choice Day limitations.
