Information Request
Please contact us for an information packet regarding enrollment in Bible Baptist Christian Academy. We ask that you carefully look over this information and ask God for His will concerning this vital decision. If you then decide that BBCA is what you are looking for, please contact our school office to set up an interview with our school administrator.
Applications
Applications are accepted at the school office during the school year. An Enrollment Form and a Records Release Form must be completed, and a registration fee of $50.00 (before June 2nd ) or $100.00 (after June 2nd ) per student is to be paid at time of enrollment.
- If your child is enrolling in K-3 through K-5, the school office will need a copy of his/her birth certificate before enrolling.
- In order to be admitted, all students must have proper immunization records.
Applications, Release forms, and fees may be mailed to the school office, or you may bring them in to the school secretary.
School Records
Previous school records are a pre-requisite to admittance into BBCA. Students may not be admitted if permanent records cannot be obtained from the school last attended. A senior’s transcript will be considered when transferring from another school. A student entering as a senior must show proof of credits earned before being accepted as a senior.
Placement Tests
Children in grades 1 through 8 will be given a placement test prior to the beginning of the school year. You will be informed of the next testing date for your child/children. The student will be placed in accordance with the test results. If parents are not satisfied with the placement of their child, they may hire an outside tutor to help their child attain the proper grade level or request that the child be permitted to remain in their chronological grade for the first six weeks of school. If it is evident to the teacher and administration that the child cannot maintain a passing grade, the child will be placed in the grade determined by the diagnostic test taken at enrollment. It may then be necessary for a new curriculum to be purchased at the parents’ expense.
As of now, we do not have special education classes; therefore, all students are main-streamed.
Admission Policy
BBCA admits students of any race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin. Any student admitted must agree to abide by our standard of conduct, and the parents must sign a pledge of co-operation. The school is a ministry of Bible Baptist Church, and as such, we adhere to the same doctrinal position. Students entering the school do not have to be Baptist, but we recommend you attend a Bible-believing church on a regular basis. K-4 students must be four years of age by October 1st, and K-5 students must be five years of age by October 1st of the current year in order to enroll for that year.
Acceptance
Parents will be contacted in a timely manner with the decision on the student’s acceptance at Bible Baptist Christian Academy.
