Step 3 – Pastor Reference: All new family applications require a Pastor Reference. The school will send a Pastor Reference request form to the pastor of the church indicated on the Membership Application.
Step 4 – Review: After a full application is received, it will be reviewed to confirm all required information is included. If items are missing, you may receive reminders to help complete your application. The review ensures the file is complete before moving to the next steps.
Step 5 – Education Assessment: For families applying for a new school year, the school may request an educational assessment with the Student Services Coordinator to understand the student's academic needs. For mid-year transfer applications for Kindergarten through Grade 6, a brief educational assessment may be required; for Grade 7-12, the most current report card is required, and a brief educational assessment may also be required.
Step 6 – Interview: All new family applications require an interview with the Principal and one board member.
