ELIGIBILITY

Tri-unity Christian School exists to train the child in agreement with the instruction given in the Christian home and church.  Accordingly, parents or guardians of prospective students must be born-again, Bible believing Christians who are in active fellowship with other believers in a local Christian church.  They must be committed to the full gospel Christian Education of their children as described in the school's Statement of Faith.  Parents must also be able to assent in writing to the principles set forth in the Statement of Education Philosophy of Tri-unity Christian School.

Tri-unity Christian School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, and admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs and athletic and other school administered programs.  The school does, however, reserve the right to refuse admission to any students with severe disciplinary or psychological problems, or one who requires special education services beyond those currently provided in order to reach maximum achievement in school.

CONDITIONS

Enrollment at Tri-unity Christian School is a privilege, not a right.  This privilege may be forfeited by any student who does not conform to the standards and regulations of the school.  The school may at any time dismiss a student who does not fit into the spirit of the school, regardless of whether or not the student meets other eligibility requirements.  In addition, a family who is found not to be supportive of the school's policies, procedures, purpose, philosophy or statement of faith may be asked to withdraw their child (children).

PROCEDURE

Upon request, parents will be sent an application for enrollment and a pastoral recommendation form.  Both forms must be returned promptly before enrollment may be considered.  Upon receipt of the forms and appropriate application fees, an appointment will be made for both parents (except in cases of single-parent or single guardian custody) to be interviewed by a team of at least two board members.

This orientation interview will focus on the parents':

• Personal Christian experience and commitment;

• Reasons for desiring a Christian education;

• Agreement to have their children educated in accordance with Tri-unity's statement of  faith, educational philosophy, and policies and procedures;

• Written agreement to meet all tuition and other financial obligations due the school;

• Agreement to pray for and support the activities of the school; and
  Any questions that the parents may have prior to their final decision to enroll.

All prospective students in grades K-8 will be scheduled for academic testing, and students entering grades 9-12 will be scheduled for an appointment with the secondary school principal to discuss his/her enrollment at Tri-unity.  (NOTE:  High School aged students may be tested, and Middle School students may be interviewed, at the discretion of the respective building principal.)

Following the interview (s) and administrative review of the student's test results and past academic record, the school board will act upon the enrollment application.  In some cases, a second interview may be requested.  parents will be notified of the board's decision in writing as soon as possible.  Upon notification of acceptance, an enrollment fee equal to 1/12 of the total tuition will become due and payable in order to reserve a spot for the child (children) in a class.  Additional registration procedures will be handled at that time.
