ADMISSIONS POLICIES


We believe it is a privilege for a child to attend Christian Life School. To our school community, we seek to add families who will be supportive of the administration, the teachers, and the school's emphasis on character training by Biblical standards.


We believe maximum effectiveness in character training is achieved when the school's effort supports similar philosophy and methods in the home. By this, we mean that the parents (1) profess to be Christian, and (2) are involved in a local church which teaches its members to live consistently with Biblical standards.


Preferential admissions:

n       Christian Life Church (founding church) families will receive priority over non-members if application is made prior to open enrollment for the next school year.

n       Families whose children are presently attending Christian Life School and are current in meeting all financial and service commitments will receive priority over new applicants if application is made prior to open enrollment.

n       Positions will be created if necessary, to accommodate the children of the pastoral staff of Christian Life Church and full-time teaching staff.


Applicants other than those given priority registration will be selected competitively on the basis of (1) parent's willingness to support the school's philosophy and methods, (2) the student's conduct record in previous schools, (3) the child's academic record in previous schools, and 4) date the completed application is received.


The school administrator will interview all applicants. Achievement or cognitive ability testing may be required. (Testing costs may be incurred in addition to stated costs.)


Christian Life School attempts, through screening, to preclude the possibility of asking students to withdraw after admission. All enrollments, however, are viewed as probationary for the first semester pending the student's satisfactory adjustment to the curriculum and standards of conduct.


Christian Life School admits students of any race, color, disability, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
