Admission Policies

Kindergarten

Those students entering kindergarten may be required to take a readiness evaluation to determine individual levels of development. Acceptance for enrollment shall be determined by the kindergarten teacher and principal on the basis of the test and the teacher¹s judgement from experience. A negative decision may be appealed to the School Board.

Primary

Students advancing from Grace Christian Academy kindergarten will automatically be allowed in Grace Christian Academy first grade if they desire. Students arriving from other kindergartens to enroll in first grade, or students who have not had kindergarten may be required to take a readiness evaluation test to determine their readiness to work with our curriculum.

Students enrolling into other primary grades, not having previously been enrolled at Grace Christian Academy, may be required to take a diagnostic test to determine their level of readiness for our curriculum. Acceptance for enrollment shall be determined by the primary teacher and principal on the basis of the test and the teacher¹s judgement from experience. A negative decision may be appealed to the school board.

All students required to sit for any type of entrance or readiness examination must pay a $40 testing fee.
