Students applying to Valley Christian Elementary School for kindergarten and first grade will be given a developmental test that will determine their eligibility for our program. This evaluation gives us an indication of the maturational development of each child for proper placement into kindergarten or first grade. Students entering kindergarten must be at least five years old on or before September 1st.  A certified copy of the student’s birth certificate must accompany all kindergarten applications.

Students applying to Valley Christian Elementary School for second through fifth grades will be tested for math and reading capabilities to determine their eligibility for admission and to ensure proper placement. An applicant, who tests at more than one grade below their age level, as averaged on their reading and math tests, will not be admitted unless there are extenuating circumstances as determined by the Administrator.

At the time of entrance testing, all new first through fifth grade applicants must submit a Valley Christian Elementary School Confidential Educator form from a current teacher, a copy of their most recent report card, and scores from their most recent standardized testing. If the applicant has been evaluated by either public school personnel or a private clinician, a copy of the most recent psychological/educational assessment must be submitted as well. Please note that previous disciplinary actions may render an applicant ineligible.

An interview may be required for parents seeking to enroll their child for the first time.

After a complete review by the admissions committee of all information submitted, notification will be given as soon as possible concerning the action taken upon the application. Class openings will be filled on a first come, first served basis by those who complete registration and who qualify for admittance.
