Application Procedures and Information
|
Thank you for your interest in Providence Academy (PA). It is exciting to see God's leading and direction in our school. PA exists as a supplement to the parents' own teaching, enabling the parents to be more effective in their time with their children.
As you consider a Christian education for your children, pray for God to guide your thinking and learn all you can about the philosophy of classical, Christian education. Read over the application carefully and fill it out completely. The decision to attend a Christian school should be made only after weighing all of the benefits as well as the sacrifices that may be necessary.
We are praying that God will send families to PA who desire a thoroughly Christian education for their children.
PA is not associated with a specific church or denomination. No one is denied admission on the basis of gender, race, color, or national origin.
Introduction
We appreciate your concern for your child(ren)'s education and your interest in our school. The following information provides a step-by-step procedure for you to follow in making application to the school.
Acceptance to PA is based upon the premise that the parents are committed to serving the Lord Jesus Christ and to the principles of Christian education. Therefore the Admissions Committee has the responsibility to screen applicants relative to such commitments. Consistent with the commitment to Christ as Lord and Savior are such evidences as: (1) parent(s) who are believers in Christ and who have personally accepted Him as Lord; (2) parent(s) being active members of a church body; and (3) parent(s) endeavoring to maintain a Christian home where Biblical principles are nurtured.
Application Procedures - $10.00 fee (effective 9-1-07)
| Step 1 |
Application Forms: Complete the enclosed form and send one copy of Part 1 (Family Information) and a separate copy of Part II (Student Information) for each child you wish to enroll. Part IV (Commitment of Intent) must be signed before the application can be processed. A copy of the child’s most recent report card and achievement test scores need to be included with the application. Be sure to include the $10.00 application fee. |
| Step 2 |
Assessment Test: Testing for all incoming students in grades 1 through 11 is required before admission. If there is an opening available, you will be contacted to set up the assessment test.
|
| Step 3 |
Interview: If there is an opening available, the Admissions Committee will meet with you to discuss the particulars of your completed application and give you an opportunity to ask questions. Participation by both parents is required. |
| Step 4 |
Notification of Acceptance: After all of the above steps have been completed, the Admissions Committee will review and rule on the application. Notification of acceptance will be sent by mail, at which time the enrollment fee becomes due and payable within 10 days. All students are considered to be on probation for their first nine weeks at PA. Excessive behavior problems or extremely poor academic performance may result in dismissal or recommendation to a lower grade level.
High School Applicants: One factor that will be considered when determining whether a student will be accepted into the high school program at PA is whether or not that student’s existing H.S. credits, as outlined on their official up to date H.S. transcript, is compatible with PA’s graduation requirements and course offerings.
|
| Step 5 |
Records: All required records must be submitted to the school office before the student will be allowed to attend class. |
| Step 6 |
Waiting List: In the event there is not an opening available, names are placed on a waiting list in the date order that they are received and kept for a period of 2 years. Re-application would then be required to remain on the waiting list, if desired. A $10.00 re-application fee is required if an opening is refused. If an opening is refused a second time, there is another $10.00 re-application fee and the child’s name is moved to the bottom of the waiting list. |

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
