The Admissions Process
The admissions process described below is for applicants to the Garden School (Kinder) Grammar School (1st - 6th), Logic School (7th - 9th), and Rhetoric School (10th -12th). We have created a thorough admissions process in an attempt not to be exclusive but to be inclusive of families who strongly desire a classical Christian education. Berean Christian Academy is a school committed to academic excellence and spiritual development. Instilling in students a love of learning and providing an orderly, nurturing atmosphere are our priorities. We desire to create a community where grace and respect override differences and a unity of the Holy Spirit prevails.

5. The final step of the application process is a parent interview. The parent interview is scheduled with the

is for discussing the compatibility of the student's and family's goals with the school's methods and
philosophy. This is an integral part of the admissions process.
6. After careful consideration and prayer by our admissions committee, all families will receive notification of
admission status.
NOTE: BCA keeps an active waiting pool, and applicants are evaluated as space is available. If the grade for which you have applied becomes full your application may be placed into our waiting pool for that grade. If a place becomes available in a previously closed grade, all applicants in the wait pool will be considered together.
