School Uniform

At Uppsala International School (UIS), we believe that a clear and respectful dress code contributes to a focused, safe, and inclusive learning environment. Our uniform policy promotes a sense of unity and school pride, while reinforcing the values of discipline, responsibility, and mutual respect.

It is our policy that a dress code is an important part of a safe, orderly school environment where the focus is on student learning.

Why a School Dress Code Matters

A consistent dress code helps establish a school culture centered on academic achievement and personal growth. When students dress appropriately for school, they are more likely to adopt a serious attitude toward learning. It also helps minimize distractions, reduce peer pressure related to clothing, and foster a stronger sense of community.

The Purpose of the UIS Dress Code

Our uniform policy is designed to:

• Encourage students to take pride in their appearance and develop a positive self-image

• Maintain a formal, respectful, and academic tone within the school environment

• Provide clear and age-appropriate guidelines for attire that reflect our school values

• Promote equality among students by reducing visible socio-economic differences

• Ensure safety, comfort, and ease of movement during daily school activities

Dress Code Guidelines

All students are expected to follow the school’s dress code on regular school days. The attire should be neat, modest, and appropriate for a structured academic setting. Specific uniform requirements may vary by grade level and will be communicated to parents during enrollment and at the start of each school year.

By adhering to the UIS dress code, students demonstrate their commitment to the school community and create a positive learning environment for everyone.
