The School District of Philadelphia has a mandatory uniform policy. All students must be in uniform all days including the last week of school unless the school grants permission for a special occasion or event.

Beginning in the 2024-2025 academic year, we encourage Marian Anderson students to wear monogrammed shirts. These shirts are designed to uphold our school’s standards of professionalism and respect while promoting a cohesive school identity. We encourage Kindergarten through 4th grade students to wear light blue shirts, and students in grades 5 through 8 navy blue shirts.
