Overview of Enrollment
1. Apply
An online application form must be completed for each student. Before beginning the application, be sure to have the following information ready:
​
-
Student academic history
-
Parent educational background and experience with homeschooling
​
In addition, take time to read Grace Community Church's Doctrinal Statement and be ready to describe your family's church involvement, as well as affirm parental responsibility for at-home instruction.
​
We recommend setting aside 10–30 minutes to complete the application, as the application form cannot save your progress.
2. Family Interview
The family interview is an opportunity for Grace Academy staff to get to know students and parents better, as well as review program expectations and sponsorship information. The interview takes approximately 30–45 minutes. Interviews will take place after review of your application. It is necessary that both student and parents are in attendance.
​
3. Student Assessment
Incoming students will be assessed regarding grade placement and academic progress. Specifics of the assessment process vary by grade, and families will be contacted to schedule a student assessment following the family interview.
4. Admissions Decision
Following a review of all application materials, families will be notified of an admissions decision. To secure enrollment for your student, an initial registration fee (10% of annual tuition) must be paid to ensure priority enrollment.
​
5. Orientation and Enrollment Forms
Admitted Grace Academy students and their families will be invited to an orientation meeting. This meeting will review policies and procedures, expectations, and important details for the 2024–2025 academic year. This is also an exciting opportunity to meet other Grace Academy families.
6. Pay Enrollment / Tuition Fee
Following payment of the initial registration fee, families will be responsible for remitting tuition payments according to their elected payment plan.
