Admission Procedures

1. Upon return of a completed application, if an interview with the family has not already been held, one will be arranged with the elementary principal.
2. After the interview, and after reviewing all other required materials (as stated on the application form); the principal will make the decision whether or not to admit the student(s). As of 1998, the administration of WCCS Entrance Tests will likely be necessary for a better evaluation for grade placement of the student(s).
3. The principal will then notify the parents in writing with the decision regarding admittance. If accepted, the parents will receive an Acceptance Letter and a Transfer of Records form, if the student attended another school previously.
4. All financial arrangements between the family and the school must be understood before admittance is considered final.
5. The new family is required to attend the New Family Orientation held at the school during an evening normally in late August.

Admission Requirements for Parents

1. At least one parent is required to be a Christian. The parents of students in WCCS should have a clear understanding of the biblical philosophy and purpose of the WCCS. This understanding includes a willingness to have their child exposed to the clear teaching of the school's Statement of Faith in various and frequent ways within the school's program.
2. The parent is required to submit a Pastoral Recommendation Letter before admittance is considered final.
3. The parents should be willing to cooperate with all the written policies of WCCS. This is most important in the area of discipline (see Discipline Guidelines and School Rules) and schoolwork standards, as well as communication with the respective teacher(s) and administration.

Admission Requirements for Students

1. A child must have reached the age of five years by September 1 st of the fall in which he/she would be entering kindergarten.
2. A child entering first grade must have reached the age of six years by December 1 st of the fall in which he/she would enter WCCS.
3. If a child has successfully completed the previous school year and his schoolwork and behavior compare favorably to the comparable grade at WCCS the child will likely be placed in the grade for which he is applying. However, if through the administration of WCCS Entrance Tests or other evidence, it is determined that the child may not be adequately prepared for the next sequential grade level, it may be necessary that he repeat the previous grade.
4. The child should understand that his parents have delegated their authority to the school. Therefore, he is subject to the instruction and discipline of the teachers and principal in their prescribed roles at WCCS.
5. In general practice, if the student and parents comply with the requirements outlined here, WCCS will admit student of any race, sex, color, or national origin in the administration of its policies, admissions scholarships, athletic, and other school-directed programs.
