Admissions FAQs

Find answers to common questions about the admissions process at Summit Christian Academy.

What is the school age requirement?

To enter our pre-kindergarten (K4) program, your child must be 4-years-old by September 30th. If you are applying for kindergarten (K5), your child must be 5-years-old by September 30th of the school year for which you are applying. 

What should I expect for the Entrance Assessments?

All students entering grades K5 and up will undergo an entrance assessment and other placement testing as required.  The cost for this testing is included in the application fee.

What is the interview process like?

Once the school receives all the application forms, an interview will be scheduled as openings become available.  The purpose of the interview is to ensure that:

a)  at least one parent expresses a clear testimony of Christian faith and is known and active in a Biblically-based local Christian church;
b)  the parents desire a Christian education for their child; and
c)  family beliefs and practices are consistent with the standards, statement of faith, and values of the school.

Students entering 7th-12th grades will also be interviewed prior to admission and must be able to articulate and demonstrate faith in Jesus Christ.

How do I know if I was accepted?

You will be notified by email upon acceptance of your child(ren) with detailed instructions for completing the online enrollment packet. Note: submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance to Summit and the application fee is non-refundable.

Is there a waitlist?

God has blessed Summit with increased interest and growing enrollment.

Each grade level has a set capacity for the number of students due to space constraints and because we value smaller class sizes and close teacher-student relationships.  Therefore, if the number of applications exceeds the number of available seats in class, we will begin a wait pool for qualified applicants.  

Wait pools are not prioritized waiting lists.  Instead, qualified applications for a grade are compiled and, should an opening become available, reviewed collectively by the admissions committee to select the most mission-appropriate candidate.  Summit reserves the right to place priority consideration for qualified applicants of staff and siblings.

At Summit Christian Academy, we’re committed to partnering with Christian families to make high-quality classical Christian education both accessible and affordable. We understand that investing in a robust, Christ-centered education is a meaningful decision that reflects your priorities and values. To enable Christian families to make this significant, yet wise, investment, Summit Christian Academy’s tuition assistance program is available to help families with diverse financial needs.

To ensure fairness and confidentiality, we partner with FACTS(R) Grant & Aid, an independent organization that conducts a thorough financial analysis to determine your family’s level of need.  About 10–14 days after your application is submitted, Summit receives a confidential report summarizing your financial situation. Our business office then reviews the report and contacts you with your tuition recommendation.

Admissions and tuition assistance decisions are handled separately, so you can explore Summit with confidence knowing each process is thoughtful and fair.
