| | I. Admission Procedures: A. Upon return of a completed application, if an interview with the family has not already been held, one will be arranged with the Elementary School principal or a designated representative.
B. 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).
C. The principal will then notify the parents in writing with the decision regarding acceptance. If accepted, the parents will receive an Acceptance Letter and a Transfer of Records form, if the student attended another school previously.
D. All financial arrangements between the family and the school must be understood before an admission is considered final. | 
|  | II. Admission Requirements for the Student: A. A child must have reached the age of five years by September 1 of the fall in which he or she would be entering kindergarten. B. A child entering first grade must have reached the age of six years by September 1 of the fall in which he or she would enter Providence.
C. If a child has successfully completed the previous school year and his or her schoolwork and behavior compare favorably to the comparable grade at Providence, the child will likely be placed in the grade for which he or she is applying. However, if through the administration of Providence 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 or she repeat the previous grade. |
D. The child should understand that his parents have delegated their authority to the school. Therefore, he or she is subject to the instruction and discipline of the teachers and principal in their prescribed roles at Providence School. E. In general practice, if the student and parents comply with the requirements outlined here, Providence School will admit students of any race to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally made available to all students. Providence School does not unbiblically discriminate on the basis of race, sex, color, or national origin in the administration of its policies, admissions, scholarships, athletic, and other school-directed programs. III. Admission Requirements for the Parents: A. Though not required to be Christians, the parents of students in Providence should have a clear understanding of the biblical philosophy and purpose of Providence School. This understanding includes a willingness to have their child exposed to the clear teaching (not forced indoctrination) of the school's Statement of Faith in various and frequent ways within the school's program. B. The parents should be willing to cooperate with all the written policies of Providence School. This is most important in the area of discipline (see Discipline Guidelines and School Rules) and schoolwork standards, as well as active communication with the respective teacher(s) and administration.
