ADMISSION
A student is admitted to Faith Baptist School based on the interview, former records and placement/diagnostic tests. A church recommendation letter may also be required as part of the admission process. The administrative staff reviews each student's record yearly to decide reenrollment for the next year. New enrollments must complete the registration process, the interview, and placement testing to be considered for admission. Upon acceptance, new enrollments must complete a tuition management form for tuition or pay tuition in full to complete the admissions process.
The age requirement for kindergarten admission is five years old on or before September 30 of the school year.
Faith Baptist School, as a church ministry, reserves the privilege of setting and maintaining its own standard for student conduct, dress, cleanliness, and scholarship. The administration maintains the right to refuse admittance, to suspend, to discipline, or to expel any student who violates the standards set down in the FBS Handbook. It is considered a privilege to attend Faith Baptist School. Any junior or senior high student who does not wish to attend will not be admitted or allowed to remain in school.
Seeing that it is the mission of Faith Baptist School to reproduce in the life of every student the same spiritual convictions as Faith Baptist Church, it becomes necessary to enact a policy that will protect the Biblical doctrines foundational to the ministries of Faith Baptist Church. Therefore, the administration is requiring that in addition to the initial interview, which establishes a relationship between home and school and includes diagnostic testing, a follow-up interview with families and students will be scheduled between the conclusion of the sixth grade and before the start of the seventh grade year in order to reinforce the school’s mission.
REGISTRATION
Enrolled students may register for the next school year in February of the current school year. Siblings of enrolled students may also register at the same time. Completed re-enrollment/enrollment forms and payment of the registration fee are necessary to complete the registration process.
Open registration for the next school year begins in March of the current school year. Parents wishing to enroll their children in Faith Baptist School may request an application packet from the school office. The parent should mail or bring to the office the completed application forms and the registration fee. The registration fee is non-refundable, except when the school does not accept the registration. An interview will be scheduled once the registration fee and completed forms are received. One parent or guardian and all prospective students must be present for the interview. The purpose of the interview is to establish acceptance of a student application and for the administration of a placement test. Parents will be contacted regarding acceptance following the interview and placement test.
Enrollment is limited and is based on a priority and first-come basis. Returning students are registered first. NO REGISTRATION CAN BE ACCEPTED OR SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS FINAL WITHOUT THE REGISTRATION FEE AND COMPLETED ENROLLMENT FORMS. For fees and tuition rates, please refer to the finance sheet for the current school year.
