Admission Policy

Presbyterian Christian School seeks to admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, and grants to them all of the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to full time students in the school.  It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration policies, scholarships and loan programs, athletic, and other school-administered programs.  However, the Board of Directors reserves the right to deny admission to any student where it is reasonably calculated that such an admission might create adversity, conflict or opposition to the school’s adopted “Articles of Faith”, “Statement of Education Philosophy,” or “Christian World Life View Goals”.

At Presbyterian Christian School, our goal is to glorify God by assisting the Christian family in the discipleship, education, and nurture of its children and to ensure the success of each student who is enrolled. Our partnership with parents and each student’s success begins with the admissions process

PRIORITY OF ADMISSION

Priority of admission to the grade school will be granted to currently enrolled students, siblings of currently enrolled students, and children of members of the supporting churches (Bay Street, Woodland, and First Presbyterian Churches).

Priority of admission to the kindergarten will also be granted to students enrolled in Presbyterian Christian School's four-year-old program.

To receive consideration, applications must be submitted on or before the priority deadline preceding the academic year for which enrollment is sought.

             AGE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

PCS policy states that a child must be 3 years of age on or before September 1st in order to enter our 3-year-old program. A child must be 4 years of age on or before September 1st in order to enter our 4-year-old program.

PCS policy states that students must have reached age 5 on or before September 1st in order to enter kindergarten and/or must have reached 6 on or before September 1st to enter 1st grade.

PART-TIME / HOME-SCHOOLERS

• Spots limited to 5th  & 6th graders.


• Class size:  maximum of 25 students per class.


• Incoming full-time students will always be given priority for class spots currently used by part-time students.  In the event that a home-schooled student has to give up his spot for an incoming full-time student, the home- schooled student would be given the option of becoming a full-time student.  If he chooses not to, he would be allowed to stay in the class until the end of the current nine-week term.


• School administered testing may be necessary to determine proper grade placement.


• Part-time students are excluded from achievement testing.


• Lunch program, library privileges, and field trip privileges are extended to part-time students.


• Part time students may not remain on PCS campus at any other than authorized class time or at the special request of a teacher.
   

PCS reserves the right to add other stipulations as the need arises.  We have attempted to cover all pertinent areas.  We look forward to working together now and in the future as we both seek to serve our Lord and to be obedient to Him in rearing our children.
