Admissions Process (K-12)
Click Here for the Infant Care - Early Kindergarten Admissions Process
Step One: Application - to initiate the application process, the Office of Admissions and Advancement must receive the following items which are downloadable for your convenience:
A. Completed Application Packet: (one per child) The application, in addition to the supplemental forms, need to be signed and completed.
B. Application Fee: A non-refundable application fee of $50.00 made payable to Vacaville Christian Schools must accompany the completed application packet.
C. Pastor Reference Form**: The Pastor Reference form may be completed by the Pastor or Childrens’ Pastor at your church who works with and knows your child the best. In the event you are unable to contact your pastor, you may use the optional Parental Statement.
D. Optional Parental Statement: This form may be used in place of a Pastor Reference Form.
E. Educator Recommendation**: This form needs to be completed by your child’s current teacher or the school administrator that handles academic affairs.
F. Test results: Please submit copies of standardized testing scores and report cards for the past two years with the application.
**Important Note: It is the parent’s responsibility to follow up on the pastor and educator forms. Failure to return these documents will delay your application process and prohibit your consideration for admission.**
Step Two: Consideration - after the Office of Admissions and Advancement has received the items in step one, a review and processing period of 5 - 7 business days will take place. You will then be contacted by the appropriate school office for the following appointments:
A. Entrance Exam: The purpose of this exam is to determine whether your student is academically prepared for the grade level for which they are applying.
B. Parent/Principal Admissions Interview: During this time, your completed application packet will be reviewed and discussed with you by the school principal. Additionally, any questions you may have about the school will be answered.
Step Three: Letter of Acceptance
Upon completion of step two, a letter will be sent to notify whether or not your child has been accepted. Applications for students beyond the number we are able to accept will be placed in a waiting pool.
The Office of Admissions and Advancement maintains this waiting pool for each grade level, as opposed to a numbered waiting list. This pool is necessary until the principal is able to determine how many openings are available in each grade. Applications will then be reviewed by the principal and openings will be filled accordingly.
Step Four: Completion of School Registration - once you’ve received an acceptance letter and enrollment packet, you will be required to sign and return the following items within seven working days, along with your registration fee to the appropriate school registrar, to secure your child’s placement in our school. If you are selecting our Extended Care Program, your registration fee is also due at this time.
A. Signed Contract of Payment
B. Remittance of Registration Fee of $175
C. Extended Care Registration of $20 (if applicable)
