Admissions Policy

In keeping with Southwest Christian School’s mission of offering a Christ-centered, college preparatory education that graduates young adults equipped as Christian leaders in the world, SCS requires the following:

• Only students whose academic records demonstrate proven capability to succeed will be considered. Applicant’s records will be carefully evaluated prior to acceptance. Southwest Christian requires that students be in positive academic standing with their current school. Students must also score at grade level or above on the admissions exam.
• Report card citizenship marks and teacher evaluations from current school must show a behavioral history that is in harmony with the behavioral expectations of Southwest Christian School.

Interdenominational Statement:

Southwest Christian School is an independent, interdenominational, institution. We hold to the inerrancy of scripture and believe that all who have placed their faith and trust in Jesus Christ are saved. During the admission process, applicants and parents will be asked to share information regarding their church membership as well as their family faith traditions. This very important information helps us to get to know applicants. It also assists parents in understanding the faith partnership we share as students move through our Christ-centered education process.

The best way to discover the benefits of a Southwest Christian School education is to experience it first-hand. Students applying to grades 4 through 12 are required to spend a minimum of half-day attending classes and participating in the many exciting activities occurring during a typical day. An application must be on file with the Admissions Office prior to scheduling a visit.

Financial Aid:

All grants for financial aid are based solely on financial need, and are available for students applying to grades Kindergarten through 12. Financial aid is NOT granted to Early Childhood students. Admission decisions and financial aid awards are made separately. Students must apply and be accepted to SCS before financial aid will be offered. The deadline to file for financial aid is April 1, 2010. Applications for financial aid are available through the Admissions Offices or online at www.factstuitionaid.com. Financial aid funds are limited and may not be available to all admitted students.
