Admission Process
The admissions policy for Tree of Life Christian Schools is mission driven. The school's mission involves a loving, cooperative, and committed partnership among the home, the church, and the school so that students may be educated in the Truth and discipled in Christ.
- Parents submit the application and application fee to Tree of Life Christian Schools.
- Upon receipt of the application, a secondary packet is sent to the family.
- After the designated re-enrollment period for current school families, new applications (including the initial application and secondary packet) are reviewed by the building principal.
- The building principal will schedule student testing (K-12) and parent interviews (based upon classroom space that is or may become available) for students whose application materials demonstrate that they may be well served by the school and that they and their parents may be willing to be a part of fulfilling the school's mission.
- Approval of admission to Tree of Life Christian Schools will be based on:
- Student testing results
- Previous years' grade cards / progress reports
- Reference from previous school(s)
- Church Reference form
- Acceptable completion of parent questionnaire and authorization form
- For middle school and high school students, acceptable completion of Student Questionnaire
- For high school students, completion of Standards of Conduct form
- Parent and student interviews
- Space available
- After student testing and the parent interview, enrollment decisions are made by the administration.
- The enrollment fee is due at the time of the parent interview. Payment of this fee secures the student's place in his/her grade.
- Tree of Life Christian Schools recruits and admits students of any race, color, gender, or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities of the school.
- A student with academic, attendance, attitudinal, disciplinary or psychological problems may be refused admission to Tree of Life Christian Schools.
