Admission Policy

Admission Policy

ADCCA practices a biblical philosophy of admissions, not discriminating based on sex, race, color, or national origin. Parents must attend one ADCCA informational meeting and read through the Mission Statement, the Statement of Faith, the Parent/Student Handbook, watch videos prior to application, and read the books prior to the parent/student interviews.

Registration

  1. After being accepted to ADCCA, you will receive an acceptance email with registration instructions.
  2. Registration secures your student’s place in class. Registrations will be processed in the order in which they are received.

Admission Requirements for Students

  1. Pre-Kindergarten applicants must be at least 4 years old and Kindergarten applicants must be at least 5 years old by June 1st of the current school year. Minimum age requirements continue in this manner for each grade level.
  2. If a child has successfully completed the previous year, he/she will proceed to the next grade level. New students will be assessed individually so that they can be challenged with a curriculum appropriate to their needs and abilities.
  3. The child should understand that his/her parents have delegated their authority to ADCCA while the child is in school. He/she is therefore subject to the instruction and discipline of the teachers and staff while at school.

Admission Requirements for Parents

  1. During the parent interviews with the headmaster and school board, at least one parent must be willing to clearly articulate a personal and saving relationship with Jesus Christ. In addition, both parents should have a clear understanding of the biblical philosophy and functioning of ADCCA. Both parents must read the Statement of Faith and understand that it constitutes the doctrinal beliefs of the school and that its truths will be purposefully and clearly taught to their children who are enrolled at ADCCA. These matters will be reviewed in the personal interview.
  2. Parents must be willing to cooperate with the policies of the school board. Parental non-compliance or interference with school policy is grounds for student expulsion.
  3. Both parties, prior to final admission of the student(s), should understand the financial arrangements between the school and the parents.
  4. By enrolling a student in ADCCA, a parent explicitly agrees to be an active part of the educational process. Parents are committing to encourage students in their course of study, including taking proper steps to ensure accountability at home, be it proper rest, nutrition, and/or the adequate time and place for homework.
