Application & Enrollment

Attending ELCA is a privilege and not a right. 

There is an application process. A special criterion must be met for a student to be accepted. The process and required documents include:

  1. Student Application for Interview  
  2. Parent/Guardian and Student Interview  
  3. Application for Enrollment  
  4. Student and Parent Handbook Agreement  
  5. Photocopy of birth certificate  
  6. Copy of current immunizations or exemption 
  7.  Student Records Release 
  8.  Financial Agreement

Application Requirements

Parents or guardians and students Grade 7 or above must sign the Handbook Agreement ensuring agreement with our ELCA Statement of Beliefs, Philosophy of Education, and other policies. 

The student’s behavior record at home, church, and school should reflect good citizenship, and the student must agree to abide by the standards and guidelines of our school. 

The school is not equipped to take special needs students who cannot function in a Learning Center setting. To function in a Learning Center setting, a student must be able to work quietly, independently, and progressively using A.C.E. curriculum; communicate with the supervisor and be able to use the rest room facilities unattended. 

Returning students in good standing financially and behaviorally will be given priority over new applicants. The school will not accept students who are over age 20 by the time of graduation.

Grade-Specific Application Requirements

Kindergarten

Students beginning kindergarten should be five years old on or before September 1st. Exceptions to the age requirement would need administrative approval. Student admission would be determined pending assessment completion and interview. 

Elementary Grades

1st through 5th 

The student will be tested before level placement if he/she transfers from a public, private, or home school. 

Middle School

6th through 8th

The student desires to come to the Academy and will be tested before grade-level placement if he/she is transferring from a public, private, or home school. 

High School

9th through 12th

ELCA does not normally accept new high school students who have not attended a homeschool or a Christian school. ELCA will allow applications from high school students who desire to attend and have a younger sibling enrolled in the school (K-8th). These will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
