Dress Code
At Bridge Youth, we represent a culture of modesty and honor at all times both while at the church, and at events held in other locations. We ask that all students abide by this modest culture in the way they behave and the way they are dressed. No student is exempt from the code of conduct that we carry, so we ask that all swimming attire is modest for all students. We ask that girls and boys both wear clothing that isn’t revealing and that honors themselves and their fellow students. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly at kyle@thebridgeva.cc and I would be happy to connect with you. We want the best for you and your student, and we hope to see you soon!
