Admissions, Enrollment
Enrollment Process
Grace Christian Academy uses an application and admissions procedure similar to that used in many other private schools and colleges. The family-like atmosphere at Grace Christian Academy is due in great measure to the biblical convictions and principles taught and lived out in many of the homes of our students. As the Lord blesses us with growth and change, we want to do all we can to maintain and build up that atmosphere.
A student's academic achievements will be considered in the application process, but only for grade placement, not as the primary determinant for acceptance. We seek to enroll those students who, because of their own families' priorities, will most benefit from what Grace Christian Academy can offer to them.
Applications will be considered as they are received and as space permits.

Parent Participation
"Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." Eph. 6:4
As a support and extension of the family unit, Grace Christian Academy considers the family to be of first importance to a child. God, through His Word, the Bible, indicates that the family is the most important human institution He designed, since He compares it to the relationship believers have with Christ and the Father. Therefore, at Grace Christian Academy we are continually seeking ways to actively involve the parents, siblings, and grandparents of our students in the programs of the school.
Below are just a few of the ways we encourage this.
1. Visit the school/class at any time. (Please call ahead out of courtesy to the teacher.)
2. Assist in the classroom, regularly or infrequently. Be a reader leader, teacher aid or a room mom. (Arrangements should be made with the teacher concerned.)
3. Help supervise the lunchroom or playground during recess.
4. Act as chaperone on field trips and/or library visits.
5. Serve as a story-reader, song-leader, or guest artist or offer your special talents.
6. With permission and prior arrangement, present your vocation to the students or invite them to your place of business.
7. Share your experiences, trips, vacations, as they may relate to an area of study in a class.
8. Participate in school fundraisers – organizing, promoting, attending, selling, etc.
9. Attend all Parent-Teacher Conferences that are formally conducted. Informal conferences may be held anytime at the parent's request.
10. Closely monitor and praise your child's progress by reading all teacher notes and student papers sent home!
11. Offer assistance by volunteering to serve on board-appointed committees or the board itself.
12. Pray for the staff at Grace Christian Academy . Just as we view the school as an extension of the home, we also ask that you make the teachers and staff at Grace Christian Academy part of your daily prayer regimen. Ask God to provide wisdom and Biblical insight in the instruction and guidance of their students and that GCA would be unified in purpose and a place where God is richly glorified. The ways to encourage the teaching staff are endless; a kind word or a card will be a cherished event for years. Next to the students, the teachers are our most valuable resource. A "thank you" is always a welcomed word.
