PARENT INFORMATION

Elementary School Dress Code is used to ensure that children are comfortably and safely dressed for learning, including physical activity. 

● Early Childhood students (K3, K2 and K1) can wear a crew-neck ABA t-shirt in white, navy blue, light blue or yellow. Students in Grades 1-5 can wear an ABA polo shirt in white, navy blue, light blue and yellow. 

● Students are asked to wear shorts, skirts, leggings or trousers in black, dark blue or khaki - elastic waists are best! 

● Footwear can include shoes or trainers; sandals should have a back strap; flip flops are not allowed. 

● ABA, Vipers or plain blue, white, black or grey sweatshirts are allowed during cooler weather or throughout the year. 

● On PE Days, Grade 1-5 students wear cotton black or navy-blue shorts, ABA House T-shirts (Jabrin: red Jalali: yellow Mirani: green Nizwa: blue) and sports shoes. 

● For swimming, girls should wear a one-piece bathing suit, and boys should wear proper swim shorts (above the knee, not too baggy). Swim caps are required for hygiene reasons, and goggles are recommended. All items should be labelled with the student’s name. 

● Clothing should be loose-fitting and plain (no embroidery, large logos etc). Wearing jewellery is discouraged. ABA cannot accept responsibility for jewellery, watches or other expensive items brought to school. 

● ABA has a “no hat, no play” policy. 

All ABA shirts, PE shorts, and ABA hats are available for purchase in the uniform shop.

 

Students are responsible for being neat, clean and dressed appropriately for serious study. ABA does not have a "uniform” but has adopted an established dress code which attempts to provide a sense of school identity, recognize climatic and cultural restrictions, yet offer some individual flexibility. Students are expected to take responsibility for their attire based on these codes and come to school dressed in an appropriate manner with a well-groomed appearance. 

In respect of our host culture, all clothing should be loose-fitting and plain (i.e. no embroidery, large logos, excessive rivets, large/numerous pockets, etc.) Uniform skirts, shorts or trousers can be either navy blue or black materials. 

NO leggings/ jeggings/ tight trousers/jeans/sweatpants/military fatigues

• A (not too tight or short) ABA polo shirt of colours white, navy blue, light blue, and yellow. These are available for sale at the ABA uniform shop.
