Oakbrook Preparatory School’s dress code was established to promote unity, provide a consistent and neat appearance for all students, and to avoid peer pressure in matters of dress. Only the official uniform and options are acceptable attire. The official uniform must be worn for field trips, special functions, picture days, and weekly Wednesday chapel, while approved options may be worn on other days.
