Admissions
ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS
1. It is recommended that students entering kindergarten be five years old on or before May 31st. An interview and an entrance exam will be done to determine if admittance will be granted to students with birthdays falling after this date. If a child has attended preschool, a recommendation from his/her teacher must be given before admission will be granted.
2. Elementary students must have successfully accomplished previous grade and submit proof of this upon enrollment.
3. All records from previous school/schools must accompany student.
4. A faculty interview is required with all incoming students to determine spiritual and academic growth and potential.
5. Students transferring into SCA must have academic records that show they maintained a C average or above in each subject as well as an overall stanine score of 5 or above on their standardized test for the previous and/or current school year.
6. All required health, academic and enrollment records must be completed and returned to the SCA office within the first 2 weeks of the school year.
7. Students must comply with all county, state and federal health laws and regulations to be admitted to SCA.
8. Attendance to SCA is a privilege and not a right. SCA does not admit students who have been expelled or suspended from another school or who are under disciplinary action from another school.
9. SCA admits students of any race, color, ethnic origin or handicap to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded to or made available to students at the school.
| TRANSFERRING STUDENTS All records must accompany student prior to enrollment; in some cases, enrollment may be allowed prior to receiving all information, but the transferring student’s status will be probationary until records arrive. Mid-year transfers are at administration/faculty discretion and will require interviews with immediate and previous school faculty, as well as with the student and his/her parents/guardians. |

[While the school’s book fees cover in full all consumable textbooks, they only cover the rental of hardcover textbooks. This is done so that the overall cost may be kept down by allowing a book to be reused for several years. Therefore, textbooks of this nature are not to be written in or otherwise marked up while in a student’s possession. Failure to take care of a hardcover textbook (or otherwise specified “rented’ book) will result in additional charges to the student/parent.]
During the month of April, early registration takes place. At this time, registration fees that are paid are applied toward the book fee expenses that are due in August. By taking advantage of this early sign-up, the $75.00 registration fee is not an additional expense, but becomes a down payment toward the book fee.
