DRESS CODE

At ECDS, we believe that a school uniform fosters a sense of community, equality, and school pride. Our dress code is designed to promote a respectful and focused learning environment while allowing students to feel comfortable and confident.

All ECDS-logo apparel can be purchased at Land’s End
