Lighthouse Christian Academy uses an admissions procedure that resembles the application process used in many other private schools and colleges. We do not accept new students on solely a “first-come”, first-serve” basis after they had submitted the necessary documentation and passed an initial interview. The current procedure allows the school to more accurately identify and admit students from families who have clearly expressed convictions that are similar to the Academy’s regarding the education of children.

The selection and make-up of the school’s student body is second only to staff selection in the impact it has upon the school’s mission. The atmosphere Lighthouse Christian Academy seeks to foster and currently enjoys is due in great measure to the similarity of biblical convictions and principles taught and lived out in many of the homes of our students. As the Lord blesses us with growth and change, we want to do all we can to maintain and build up that atmosphere.

The basic process for new applicants is as follows:

1.     

        1)   New applications and school handbooks will be dispersed and completed applications will be collected. Date of application will be recorded, but will not be a consideration in acceptance.

        2)   Interviews, school visits, and requisite documentation related to each new student will be evaluated. (After April 1, applications will still be accepted and reviewed according to the same selection standards, but only after the initial pool of applications has been considered.)

3.     

        3)   Notification of acceptance or denial will be mailed to each applicant. Accepted applicants will receive all appropriate information for preparing for school, including financial arrangements.

4.     

        4)   After May 1(or after all notifications have been mailed): Applications will be considered as they are received and as space permits.

A student’s academic achievements will be considered in the application process for grade placement and ability to complete our program, not as the primary determinant for acceptance. Again, we are seeking to enroll those students who, because of their own families’ priorities, will most benefit from what Lighthouse Christian Academy can offer to them.
