Admissions

Hillcrest Christian School admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded, or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, financial aid programs, or athletic and other school-administered programs.

At the elementary and middle school level our mission is to serve our community at large by providing a Christian based education to students of all religious backgrounds. Students, not previously enrolled in our elementary or middle school programs, but seeking enrollment into the high school, must be professing Christians.

The testing process combined with past academic records, recommendations, behavior, and student interviews are used to determine acceptance as a student into the school.

ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS—See New Student Enrollment Process for current School Year for detailed list which is available in the enrollment packet.

New school year enrollment packets may be picked up mid to late January. Once all the information is complete, all forms and the testing fee are to be returned to the school office. Processing of the application will begin mid February. Parents will be notified of our receipt of a completed packet or of an incomplete one. The testing date will be set when all information and recommendation forms, if applicable, are received. Students will not be placed on a class list or waiting list until the entire enrollment process is completed, the student is accepted, and fees are paid.

Mid-year admission students (processed on case by case basis) are still expected to follow the same process. At the high school level, other than for family relocation, transfers are normally considered at the beginning of each semester
