Christ Classical School endeavors to carefully identify students and families who have expressed convictions similar to those upheld by the school regarding the education of their children.

The selection of the student body of Christ Classical School is second only to staff selection in impacting the school’s mission and vision. We seek to foster a family-like atmosphere that 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 will labor with purpose to build and maintain a school culture of grace, a culture that would elicit the response from our Lord, “Well done good and faithful servants.”

Step 3: Submit an Application

You will receive an application at your initial visit. You are welcome to download from the Application Forms page. We will respond promptly once we’ve received your completed application packet and registration fee ($175/per student/non-refundable). 

Step 4 : Schedule a Family Interview and Placement Test

A Christ Classical education is a family commitment. We encourage you to bring all your children to the family interview so we can get to know each other. The placement test measures mental and emotional readiness along with acquired knowledge and skills. The results help us assess the grade readiness of your children.

Step 5: Once Accepted – Enroll Your Child!

We welcome you to join the Christ Classical School family.

To apply for our Kinder program, the following is required:

• Your child must have reached the age of five years by September 1 of the fall in which he/she would enter Christ Classical School.
• A K-readiness screening or individual academic assessment may be required.

Grade Placement: If a child has successfully completed the previous school year at another school and his academic records and behavior compare favorably to the comparable grade at Christ Classical School, the child is placed in the grade for which he is applying.

However, if there is evidence to show that the child may not be adequately prepared for the next sequential grade level, he may repeat the previous grade. Each child should understand that his parents have willingly and kindly delegated their authority to the school. Therefore, he is subject to the instruction and care of the teachers and Head of School in their prescribed roles at Christ Classical School.

Christ Classical School is a covenant-based educational community and therefore requires that at least one parent profess faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is also essential that both parents (or, in a single parent home, one parent) have a clear understanding of the biblical philosophy and purpose of Christ Classical School. This understanding includes a willingness to have their child exposed to the clear teaching (not forced indoctrination) of the school’s Statement of Faith in various and frequent ways within the school community. The parents must also be willing to cooperate with and adhere to all the written policies of Christ Classical School. This is most important in the area of discipline and academic standards, as well as active communication with the respective teachers and administration.
