DRESS ATTIRE
Walther Christian Academy has established a standard of dress for our community which is conducive to a Christ-like environment. Cleanliness, neatness, appropriateness, and modesty are important as guiding factors. The primary dress attire is Walther Spirit Wear. This is to be worn daily from 8:00 am – 2:45 pm. On Wednesdays or our days of worship in Chapel, students must wear our Walther polo. Visit Walther SpiritWear Store
