Frequently asked questions
Some common questions about tuition at HCA
Are Uniforms included in the cost of tuition?
Why are uniforms required?
HCA has uniforms for several reasons:
- To maintain high standards in the appearance of our student body
- To avoid competition in dress among the students
- And to minimize expense to parents for school clothes in this day of “designer” styles and fast fashion
The prescribed uniform is outlined in our uniform guidelines and can be ordered through the online HCA Uniform Shop. We also have a used uniform buy/sell/give group so that outgrown, good condition uniforms may be passed on to other students within the community.
Students are required to attend school dressed in regulation uniform. Uniforms should be clean, neat, and tidy.
