Urban Academy Uniforms
Our students are smart and they look it too. Urban Academy Students wear school uniforms to represent our school. Styles vary slightly between boys and girls and between ages, and the Urban Academy Uniform Manual makes it easy to know how to dress the part. We work with In School Wear to provide high quality and stylish looking uniforms. Uniform details can be found below, and ordering can be done online at www.inschoolwear.com, please use our school code: urba. The Burnaby In School Wear location is now open at 7666 Winston Street in Burnaby and can be reached at 604-620-8806 or at vancouver@inschoolwear.com.
