No bags allowed in class, and you have to bring your own laptop. You can decorate your books and the lockers are much smaller than standard, PS (public school) lockers, you can only keep a handful of books there. Your notebooks are from the school not from the government and the teachers teach whatever the school says not the government, unless the demand came from the owner of the country. You were also given a name tag that you must wear which I forgot. My favorite prep school I went to called them like this:Īnd I only care about those two cause my friend was in London and I was in Ireland. Sometimes the houses have names, sometimes they don't. THe usual combo is blue, green, yellow and red. That's all.Īs for the houses, they're pretty simple. You must have a swim cap and a towel at all times, do not wear slippers in the pool, do not run near the pool. If you're swimming, you can wear your own swimsuit or use the school issued one. You have to have a certain pair of socks for PE, without them you do not join in the lesson. Your shoes must be white, and must be sports shoes. A shirt with the color of your house on it and the school's name on the front, shorts for summer and pants for winter. Guys wear the same pants and socks during winter. For winter, same shirt but long sleeved, same tie as well, add a blazer or sweater if you want, skirts past knee length and black tights are to be worn. No funny hair colors, no nail polish or make up, and no tats. Your shirt must be tucked in and fully buttoned, your tie must be done right and your hair must be tied up with school issued hair bands. For girls it's usually around knee length skirt with white socks, and black shoes with same color laces if there are any. For guys its's usually pants, white socks and black shoes with same color laces. It's pretty standard usually, for summer short sleeved, lined button up shirt with a tie. A prep school always, ALWAYS has a uniform. They have no government funding and have to work off their own money. My parents would not send me to a public school if their lives depended on it. You mean preparatory schools? I'm your gal.
