UNIFORM POLICY

Academy for Learning Islamic Foundations in Canada (ALIF Canada) understands that uniformity is a way of strengthening our academic community. Our policy instils a sense of discipline and belonging amongst the student body. Our standards ensure that students present themselves as clean and well-groomed individuals. ALIF Canada emphasizes the importance of personal hygiene. We are committed to standards of cleanliness, and therefore, students are examined regularly for conformity to the guidelines. Any deviation from the established standards is unacceptable.
