The UAE Ministry of Education requires students to wear a school uniform. All ACS students, KG1 - Grade 12, wear the official ACS uniform to school every day.
The ACS uniform is a collared shirt or t-shirt that is embroidered with the ACS logo, paired with an appropriate bottom in either solid khaki or black. Collared dresses are also available for students in KG1-Grade 5. All uniform tops must be purchased from the school uniform supplier. This includes ACS logo hoodies and fleece jackets.
Additionally, students in KG2 - Grade 12 are required to wear the ACS PE uniform for PE/gym classes.
