Ordering uniforms
Every day and formal uniforms
Uniforms are required at SJCA. All uniforms, except PE uniforms, must be purchased through Lands’ End.
On the Lands’ End website, you must create an account. You’ll enter the SJCA school code (900200197), your scholar’s name, and grade level. It will provide the approved uniforms for your scholar.
Purchase suggestions
We suggest purchasing three everyday uniforms, one formal uniform, and one PE uniform. We also suggest purchasing a sweater or jacket as it is sometimes cold in classrooms, and only SJCA approved sweaters and jackets can be worn inside the building. If your scholar’s uniform requires a tie, consider buying two.
PE uniforms
PE uniforms are purchased online through locally owned Stryker Custom Designs. You can pick them up at the shop: 419a College Dr, Middleburg, FL 32068.
Reference the SJCA Handbook
The SJCA Handbook provides visuals of approved uniforms and information on jewelry, makeup, hair styles, and shoes.
Spirit wear
On the last Friday of each month, scholars are encouraged to wear SJCA-approved spirit wear. This monthly event is a school fundraiser. Scholars pay $2 per spirit day. You can pay for the entire years' worth of spirit days via MySchoolBucks. Payment link to come.
The school works with several approved spirit-wear vendors, which are listed below:
