Our Dress Philosophy

Valley View University's philosophy of dress is firmly established on biblical ideals and professional standards expected of a Christian institution. Members of Valley View University seek to glorify and honor our Creator, God and respect self and others in our physical appearance.

Valley View University dress ideal seeks for appropriate covering of the body parts and avoids contemporary styles that are revealing or suggestive. It accentuates natural beauty rather than looks encouraged by fashion trends.
