Admissions Requirements

Calvary Christian School admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin. The following requirements apply to all student applicants:

Church Attendance: Students are required to attend a Bible believing church regularly (at least once a week). A letter of verification by the pastor is required within 6 weeks from date of registration.

Parent Orientation: In order to facilitate parent awareness and involvement, a yearly Orientation Seminar is held on the third Saturday in September. (The Seminar will last approximately five hours.) While it is preferred that both parents attend, it is required that at least one parent from each family attend the parent orientation each year. Lunch is provided by the PTA for those in attendance.

Compliance With State Immunization And Health Requirements (and verification of same): Transfer students are allotted a reasonable length of time for the transfer of previous school records. Entry students (K-level) must submit proof of compliance at the time of enrollment. First level students must have a Health Exam Certificate signed by their physician.

Completion of Required Forms

Administrator's Interview: This is a private and confidential interview in which the applicant meets with a member of the pastoral staff. Evaluation is subjective. (This requirement applies only to students above sixth grade.)

Standard of Conduct Agreement: This form requests information as to the student's personal convictions and standards and spells out the quality of lifestyle expected of a C.C.S. student. It is to be filled out entirely by the student without intervention of the parent or guardian, and should be brought to the Pastor's interview for discussion at that time. This requirement applies only to students above sixth grade.

Behavioral difficulties in previous school experience, legal intervention, drug or alcohol use, etc. must be reported by the parent or guardian. Failure to do so is cause for immediate dismissal!
