FAQS
Why Uniforms?
Creating Cohesion
Children come together from different backgrounds and can immediately identify a fellow member of their school from the clothes that they wear - creating a sense of cohesion and commonality.
Personal Growth
With their school colors on, children can immediately be recognized at a distance as a members of that school.
Uniforms can also reduce distractions during school and keep students focused on their studies.
Spirit Wear Available
We still strive to allow students to express themselves with their clothing through our offered spirit wear!
Feel good in sporting your school's mascot during school events, games, etc. We strive to create togetherness and belonging among all our students in ways that stretch far beyond our school uniforms!
FAQ's
Ordering Tips:
What size should I order?
We strongly encourage all families to use the size samples that are located at your school. Please contact the school office to make arrangements to see these samples. Before ordering, be sure to review the size charts.
Can my child wear anything to school that is on the Athlos Apparel site?
Your school has its own dress code, which may limit what your child is allowed to wear. Please check with your school office for more details.
Does Athlos Apparel offer a discount?
We are sensitive to the need for an affordable uniform and have worked to keep the price as low as possible. Athlos is excited to provide a uniform that is offered at a lower cost than most school uniforms. Because we have low prices year-round, we do not offer discount codes. If you need further assistance with uniform costs, please contact your school for additional programs or assistance information.
When can I/should I order uniforms?
The Athlos Apparel store is available and open for ordering year-round. If you are placing an order for the new school year, we suggest ordering a month before school starts to allow plenty of time for delivery and returns, if needed.

When checking out, you have the option of checking out as a guest, checking out with an existing account or creating a new account. If you do not already have an account, we encourage you to create one. You will be able to log into your account, see details of your current and previous orders, and re-order items.
