Uniform

The purpose of DIA’s uniform policy is to simplify our students’ mode of dress to focus attention and time on their education. At DIA, we want to minimize the attention paid to clothing and promote the idea that students are defined by who they are and not what they wear. For a complete overview of the uniform policy, please click here.
