THE ADMISSIONS POLICY
The purpose of the admissions policy is to determine whether Fellowship Christian Academy is the best fit for students applying for admittance. As a Christ-centered school, we are dedicated to providing our students with an education that allows them to reach their fullest potential academically, spiritually, physically, and emotionally.
Assessments, parent interviews, eligibility critieria, and prayerful discussions are taken into account to assist our admissions committee in making decisions that serve the best interests and needs of our applicants.
