Uniform Guide
At Al Khor International School (AKIS), it is compulsory for all students to wear school uniform completely and neatly. Our uniform represents the high standards we expect and deliver, as well as preparing students for the world of work where they must dress smartly. It also supports our ethos of a single school identity and promotes equality across all students.

Dangling earrings or rings with stones that protrude are not allowed. Other piercings such as nose or eyebrow studs are strictly forbidden. Boys are permitted to wear a watch.
Extreme hairstyles that could serve as a distraction to other students or, detract from the smart appearance of the uniform are not allowed. The definition of what is extreme will change with fashion but includes non-natural coloured hair, or, hair with patterns cut into it.
