HOPE Christian Academy welcomes students from all races, colors, nationalities, and ethnic origins; our students come from a diverse range of educational backgrounds and experiences. Families who have home-schooled or utilized an online school option find HOPE Christian Academy a very natural complement to their lifestyle.  On the other end of the spectrum, families transitioning out of a standard five-day setting find our school to be an extremely comfortable and easy adjustment. 

​

HOPE Christian Academy is truly a partnered educational model.  As such, admission at HOPE Christian Academy requires a meeting with the administrator, in part, to determine that the educational model, selected curriculum, additional remote learning components, parent volunteer obligation, and participation in the school’s educational and community driven activities correspond with the expectations of the incoming family.

New Family Enrollment Policy:

​

• Initial Meeting/Tour:  Interested families call to schedule a tour with a mentor parent and a meeting with the HCA administrator with at least one parent/guardian with or without the prospective student(s). Other family members are welcome to attend.  A tour/meeting is required before an application can be submitted. Tours for application in the following school year are not scheduled until after Fall Break in mid October.  Applications may be submitted at, or after, the initial meeting and tour.

• Student Meeting:  The administrator is provided an opportunity to meet prospective student(s). This step can be completed with the initial scheduled meeting and tour or on a separate scheduled occasion, but must be completed prior to the submission of an application.

• Admissions Packet Submitted:   Parents submit a completed Admissions Packet, which includes the Request for Admission, Tuition Agreement, and two Personal Reference Forms. For students applying for grades 1-8, a recent report card or standardized test results should be submitted with the admissions packet.  Even if these are available, grade specific assessments will be required.  At the discretion of HCA, incoming kindergartners may need to be assessed for kindergarten readiness.   A $50 assessment fee per student will be required at the time of testing and will be deducted from any subsequent enrollment fee.

• Family & Student Interview: After the application is received you will be contacted to set up an interview appointment.

• Admissions Packet Review:  Admissions packets are reviewed and considered in the order they are received. For tours conducted prior to January, the administrator will contact the family in regard to their admissions status and wait list placement after the Admissions Committee's two week review period, no later than December 19th. 

• Admissions Acceptance: After re-enrollment closure for current families in mid-January, families previously placed on the waiting list will be notified of final acceptance.  For tours conducted for current school year enrollment, and in the spring for the following school year, the administrator will contact the family after the Admissions Committee's two week review period.

• Enrollment Finalization: Once all admissions steps are completed, the family will be notified of acceptance.  A non-refundable fee of $300 per student ($900/family cap) is due within two weeks of notification.   New 1st-8th grade students may be considered conditionally enrolled once the enrollment fee has been paid, pending placement testing results.

  • Monthly placement testing date options for 2026-27 enrollment will be posted here before December 13th. 

  • Final enrollment and class placement will be confirmed on the date of testing.

       

    *Admission requirement note:  Students must be at least 5 years old by September 1st of their Kindergarten year.
