Dress Code

  • On Tuesdays, we want everyone to be comfortable and to be able to dress with a degree of your fashion personality intact, remembering that we are guests at our host church. Our appearance should never offend the staff or the visitors of our hosts.

  • Please remove hats during prayer, during lunch, and if requested by tutors.

  • If you wear a hoodie to tutorial, the hood must remain down at all times.

  • Clothing with inappropriate logos or slogans, tight or sheer clothing, or bare midriffs are inappropriate.

  • If you stand up straight and hold your arms shoulder high, no skin should be visible at your waist. Apply the “no skin” test to active bending over and sitting down. Undergarments should not be visible through tight or thin fabrics. Necklines should never expose cleavage; apply the “bending over in front of the mirror” test.

  • If you have jeans or shorts with rips/tears in them, no skin should be showing on any place above your fingertips.

  • Modest sleeveless blouses or shirts are acceptable; strapless shirts are not allowed and tank tops may only be worn under other acceptable garments.

  • Dresses, skirts, and shorts must fall longer than the fingertips.

  • Leggings are not pants; leggings can only be worn under appropriate-length skirts, shorts, or blouses/t-shirts that come to your fingertips. Leggings are also not opaque tights.

  • This dress code is in effect for all functions that are directly a part of the tutorial.

Please use common sense and don’t dress in a way that would make others uncomfortable or distract them from their studies.

Electronics Policy

  • You must turn in your phone when checking in. If you need to call/text you can come to the front desk to do so, but must leave your phone there when you return. If a staff/tutor sees you with a phone they will take it to turn into the Director, and you will be fined $25.

    • NOTE: If a tutor allows a phone for a class activity students may check out their phone before class and check it back in immediately afterwards.

  • No Headphones (unless approved for study use during a study hall). This includes air-pods.

  • Laptops Only in Quiet Study Hall (or in class if allowed by tutor). They must always be positioned to be viewable by tutor or study hall monitor.

Sick / Illness Policy

  • Please do not come if you have a cold, the flu, or any symptoms of COVID or other contagious illness. Students must be at least 48 hours fever-free to attend. If one person in the house is sick, please have all family members stay home until all are well or past the above time frame of 48 hours. If in doubt, please stay home, our tutors will work with you.
