Admission Process

ENROLLMENT

Student applications may be obtained in the school office. Parents will have an interview with the principal/supervisor prior to acceptance. Parents should bring a copy of their child’s last two report cards and last achievement test scores when they come to interview with the principal or supervisor. It is understood that attendance at Bethel Christian Academy is a privilege and not a right, that privilege may be forfeited by any student who does not conform to the standards and regulations of the institution. The Academy may request the withdrawal of any student at any time who does not fit into the spirit of this institution.

NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

BCA admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. BCA does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin as long as they are willing to participate in our Bible classes, taught according to our beliefs. We do not require pupils to attend Bethel Free Will Baptist Church nor hold membership there.

CUMULATIVE RECORDS

When a new student enrolls in our school and is transferring from another school, a “Request for Records” form must be completed and signed by one of the parents. Our school or the parent will send this form to the address of the last school attended. A student’s cumulative folder contains information regarding academic progress, attendance, health, achievement tests, and special remarks. A parent may see the contents of his student’s folder only by contacting the principal. All information is regarded as confidential.
