Steps for Admission

We are very thankful for the opportunity to open the doors of Portland Christian School to new families each year. The following procedure has been established to aid in the acceptance of all new applicants in grades K - 12.

Information (Kindergarten through Grade 12)

General information will be given over the phone (502) 266-9892 and is available here online. Admission forms may be printed here. If Internet access is not available, an information packet can be mailed to the home upon request.  This packet also includes application information for one student.  Please call the school to request additional application forms if Internet access is not available.

Interview and Testing (Kindergarten)

After application forms have been submitted, the Admissions Office will call and arrange for an interview with the parents and schedule a developmental screening. The screening is a one-on-one event involving the student and a teacher to aid in helping the child have a successful beginning in school.

While the child is being tested by the teacher, the family will be scheduled to participate in an interview. The interview is an opportunity to meet and discuss your goals and expectations for the education of your child. We welcome questions. Both the testing and the interview can be completed in about an hour. The cost is $75.00.

Admission Testing (Grades 1 to 12)

After application forms have been submitted, the admissions office will call and schedule a test. The cost is $75.00. Typically we schedule small groups at the same grade level. This will take about 2 1/2 hours. We look forward to this time to introduce you to the school. You will receive the test results at the time of the interview. A student's scores on the admissions test are not the sole factor considered for acceptance. The scores do help us to determine a successful placement for the child.

Interview (Grades 1 to 12)

When test results and application information is complete, the admissions office will call and arrange for an interview with the student(s) and their parent(s).

Admissions Evaluation (Kindergarten through Grade 12)

After the admissions committee has evaluated the applicant's file and comments from the interview, parents will be notified promptly, in writing, of the admissions committee's decision. Please feel comfortable in calling if you have questions along the way.

Confirmation of Acceptance (Kindergarten through Grade 12)

After confirmation of acceptance is received, please contact the business office (502) 266-9892 in order to confirm that financial arrangements are complete. Seats are reserved, in order, upon successful completion ofthe admissions' process, including financial arrangement approval.  Arrangements must be made with the business office regarding the payment of tuition.

If you have any questions or concerns other than fees, they should be directed to your child's principal.

It is important that you prayerfully consider the Statement of Faith. We are an extension of your home and desire that we be consistent in support of one another.
