A Specialty Boarding School for Teens

Clothing List

At Mount Bachelor Academy, it is important for students to identify with themselves through personal accomplishments and growth, rather than expressing their identity primarily through clothing and hairstyles. Clothing styles are selected for function and purpose rather than for current fashion image. Students are encouraged to maintain a clean-cut, well-groomed appearance. During the academic week, students are not allowed to wear jeans. Cotton twill pants or other dress pants are acceptable.

Upon enrollment, please limit your child’s clothing to only the items listed below. All personal belongings are to be labeled with the student’s name or initials. During the enrollment process, students will receive a wilderness clothing pack that will include everything else the student will need while in Phase One. Before the student moves to Phase Two, you will speak to your child’s mentor about additional clothing to be sent to campus.
