Admissions

Adams County Christian Academy seeks to educate the children of Christian parents. Therefore, at least one parent must be a born-again Christian and agree to the Statement of Faith included in this handbook. By enrolling their children at ACCA, parents pledge cooperation in encouraging their children to follow the Christian teachings of the school, upholding the authority of the teachers, and endeavoring to pay your tuition and fees bill promptly.

The acceptance of students whose work has been below acceptable standards, who have learning disabilities such as ADD or ADHD, or who come to us with a record of serious disciplinary or emotional problems, will be decided by the Administration after prayerful and careful consideration.

Children seeking admission to K-3 or K-4 must be potty trained and 3 or 4 years of age respectively by October 1st of that year. Children seeking admission to Kindergarten or 1st grade must be 5 or 6 years of age respectively by October 1st of that year.

All new children seeking admission to 1st – 12th grades will be given an entrance test to determine their grade level. There is a non-refundable fee of $35.00 per student for this test. It should also be noted that students would not be tested until there is a valid application on file in the school office from the family.

In applying for admission the parents understand the following:

1. The teacher and/or Administrator/Principal have full discretion in using the discipline methods outlined in that section of the Parent/Student Handbook.
2. The school has authority for placing the child in the proper grade regardless of the grade completed prior to transfer.
3. The school reserves the right to discipline and/or subsequently expel any student who does not cooperate with the total educational process. Students whose life-styles violate biblical norms and thus cast a poor reflection on the Lord and the school, even during out-of-school hours, may also be dismissed.

Other conditions being met, ACCA enrolls students regardless of race or color as long as they are in agreement with the school’s Statement of Faith and its Philosophy and objectives, and as long as they can meet and maintain the established levels of academic achievement.

Parents applying for admission to ACCA will receive an information packet including application forms to be completed. When the forms are completed, they are submitted to the school office with the application fee of $25.00, where the School Administration and/or School Board will review them. Parents will then be notified, and may be scheduled for an interview. All new students entering grades 1 – 12 are required to take the entrance test as mentioned above. The School Administrator or designated representative will then notify the parents of the decision. Upon acceptance into ACCA, a registration fee and partial consumables fee must be paid before a student is allowed to attend classes. All previous academic and health records must be turned over to the school office before a transferring student will be allowed to attend classes.
