NEW Steps for ADMISSIONS 2012-2013

The following are the basic steps for your child's admission to Arlington Christian School. Please contact the Admissions Office if you have any questions regarding the application, what steps to take, or the school's programs in general.
NEW FORMS TO BE POSTED IN FEBRUARY 2012.

STEPS for ADMISSIONS:


1. Complete and return your Admission Application and enclose your $150.00 non-refundable application fee.
2. Complete and return your Transcript Release Request. This form is to be returned to the Admissions Office with the application and fees.
3. Provide Arlington with three references. When your application is received by the Admissions Office, you will be given three reference forms and three return-addressed, postage-paid envelopes. (Printable versions of these forms are available in PDF format in the left column of this page.) These three forms should be completed and returned to Arlington by the people who fit the following categories:


a. An adult who knows your child well
b. A minister, youth minister, or Sunday School teacher from your church where you attend
c. An academic classroom teacher from your child's most recent school


4. Take the admissions test. Your child will be scheduled for the next available admissions test date. Please notify the Admissions Office if there is a conflict with the date scheduled.
5. Complete the Enrollment Contract. Secure a contract from the Administration Office.
6. Interview. Based on an opening, acceptable school records, references and test results, your child will be scheduled for a personal interview. At least one parent must be with the prospective student at this interview (both parents are more than welcomed).


As you make application, keep in mind that our concern is for the happiness, success and development of your child. We promise to provide a quality education in a Christian environment. Our teachers, administrators and programs all work together to provide a safe and pleasant environment where your child's character will develop and mature. Your involvement in Christian education is an investment in your child's future.
