Admissions Requirements

The staff members at Colonial Christian School view education primarily
as a task of edification. In other words, the school exists to aid
students who are committed to the Lord, as they move forward in their
spiritual and academic development. Because the thrust is one of
edifying or building up believers, students who are unsaved, unchurched,
and spiritually unaligned would find themselves out-of-step and
out-of-place if they were enrolled. In admitting students, Colonial
Christian School is seeking students who are saved, committed to the
Lord, and faithful to the local church (Amos 3:3). These principles are
specified in the general guidelines that follow.

1. Colonial Christian School exists primarily for the edification of the
faithful families of Colonial Hills Baptist Church and like-minded
ministries. We desire that Colonial Christian School students and
families maintain a unity of mind and spirit regarding doctrine,
philosophy, and standards for worship. While CCS maintains open
enrollment in the lower elementary grades to all families who are
willing to adhere to the school guidelines, the school will give greater
consideration to church affiliation as the grade levels increase. In the
junior and senior high school, the Admissions Committee very carefully
considers the doctrinal statements, philosophy, and standards of worship
of other churches to insure that they are of like mind. Students
continuing into seventh grade and new junior high/senior high enrollees
will need to meet this requirement.

2. The parent/s should demonstrate their love for the Lord, commitment
to spiritual growth, and desire to train their children by faithfully
attending Colonial Hills Baptist Church or a likeminded ministry (like
faith and practice). Colonial Christian School admits and retains only
students who, along with their parents, faithfully attend their local
church services.

3. Colonial Christian School may consider for admission secondary
students who have accepted Christ as Savior, have the support of their
parents, are living a life demonstrating commitment to the Lord, and
have demonstrated themselves to be faithful to the services of Colonial
Hills Baptist Church or like-minded ministries, regardless of their
family's attendance. Should admission be granted, the student must
continue to demonstrate faithful
church attendance.

4. Colonial Christian School only admits a student who transfers from
the former school in good standing. The school is not designed to meet
the special needs of students with unusual behavior, spiritual,
academic, social, or physical problems. In evaluating a potential
student, admission testing and interviews are customarily required.

5. While not tied to re-enrollment Colonial Christian School requires
that each applicant in grades 4 and above to indicate that he/she
desires to be in attendance. In addition, students must willingly sign
the Statement of Faith and Standards of Conduct agreement. Students must
indicate this desire each year by reviewing and signing the reenrollment
agreement. At Colonial Christian School we seek to set and maintain
standards for student conduct, dress, philosophy of life, procedures,
and scholarship that honor the Lord and demonstrate a spirit
of excellence.

6. Colonial Christian School admits students in good standing who are
transferring from other Christian or private schools only after their
former school bill has been paid in full.

7. Colonial Christian School does not discriminate on the basis of race,
color, gender, and national or ethnic origin.

We desire for Colonial Christian School to be a joyful place for
children. Children should want to learn. There must be both a spiritual
and academic challenge to the program, but students must also enjoy
their time on the campus. They must realize that this kind of
preparation is vital to their service to God and their personal joy in
this life. The administration and staff are dedicated to providing a
very high quality of both spiritual and academic education. This is our
service.
