Admissions Procedure

1. Information Packet: Before applying, please review the handbook and included materials to determine if Tabernacle Christian Academy provides the kind of education you desire for your child(ren). (View Admissions Rationale And Policy, Summary of Doctrinal Beliefs)
2. Informational Interview: An informal interview with the principal will be scheduled for both parents and children. During this visit, families will tour the school, observe classrooms, and have the opportunity to ask questions.
3. Formal Application and Fee: Applications are processed only when accompanied by the required, non-refundable fee. Both the application and fee may be submitted online through Digital Academy (Access Digital Academy here). Paperwork may also be picked up at the school office and submitted in person with payment.
4. Student Entrance Testing and Visit: Testing is scheduled individually with each family. At the principal’s discretion, current achievement test scores may be used in place of entrance testing. We also recommend that prospective students visit for a morning or afternoon to experience a typical day at TCA.
5. Admissions Review: The principal, in collaboration with the TCA Christian School Council, will review the application to determine the student’s eligibility. A final enrollment decision will then be made.
6. Final Acceptance: Families will be notified of the enrollment decision by phone. An enrollment fee is due immediately upon acceptance into TCA.
7. Contract: All families must enter into a contract with TCA to finalize enrollment.
8. Financial Aid: Submitting a financial aid application does not guarantee aid. Due to limited funds, we are unable to meet the full financial need of every family. All information submitted is confidential and reviewed only by members of the Christian School Council. Financial aid will only be considered after the enrollment or re-enrollment process is complete.
