Admissions Process
Admission Standards
Preschool students are enrolled based on age and readiness but also classroom availability. Children must be fully potty-trained before starting preschool class. Enrollment is not considered complete until the paperwork is submitted and the registration fees are paid in full.
Minimum ages for enrollment are as follows:
- 2-day preschool (Tuesday/Thursday) – 3 years old before Sept. 1
- 3-day preschool (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) – 4 years old before Sept. 1
Kindergarten – 5th-grade students are enrolled based on parents’ desire for their child(ren) to attend, classroom availability, and the student’s ability to function in the typical classroom setting. Entrance tests may be required for placement. Enrollment is not considered complete until the paperwork is submitted and the registration fees are paid in full.
Minimum ages for enrollment are as follows:
- Kindergarten entrance – 5 years old before Sept. 1
- 1st Grade entrance – 6 years old before Sept. 1
6th – 12th-grade students are enrolled in a combination of parental desires, student wishes, and administrative approval. Each student must be willing to live by the expected rules of conduct as outlined in the handbook. Incoming new students must complete the proper application process and pass the formal interview with Country Christian School administration. Students with prior behavioral problems may be considered when sufficient intervention has taken place to give a reasonable chance of success in the new environment. In this instance, acceptance would be on a probationary status. Once the interview process has taken place and the student has been approved for admission, enrollment is not considered complete until the paperwork is submitted and the registration fees are paid in full.
Early Registration
Early/priority registration opens to The Country Church and current Country Christian families in mid-March. Registration opens to the public in mid-April.
Re-Enrollment
Students who were previously enrolled in Country Christian and then withdrawn for a year or more must follow the same admissions process as those enrolling for the first time. 6th-12th grade students must still go through the application/interview process.
