ULCS Admissions
Upton Lake Christian School admits students of any race, color, gender and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally afforded to the students of the school. Our main focus is to partner with Christian families and Christian churches by providing academic and co-curricular activities for students.
Enrollment is considered to be a privilege and not a right. With it goes the responsibility to respect and cooperate with our purpose and regulations.
Kindergarten students for screening must be at least five years old by December 1st of the school year entered. An entrance screen is given to determine a reasonable likelihood that the child will be successful in our program. Our program can accommodate students that will benefit from a second year.
Assessment tests are given to all incoming students. These are for the use of the school in assessing the student's academic compatibility and readiness for ULCS academic rigors and also for placing the students properly. Placement of any new student in a grade level rests with the faculty and principal.
In case of a waiting list, students will be accepted, all other things being equal, in the order of receipt of the application and fee.
Admissions Procedures:
1. Download the application information documents or request the school sends them via mail. This includes a covenant, transcript request form, and reference forms to be completed by the applicant's pastor and, if appropriate, a former teacher.
2. The applicant returns the application with a non-refundable $40.00 , per child, application fee along with a copy of their birth certificate. Financial aid applications are available after the application form and fee are submitted.
3. Soon after we receive the application and all previous school records, the student will be screened academically, including Kindergarten students, by one of our teachers to help determine grade placement.
4. After the reference forms have been returned to ULCS, an interview will be scheduled with the principal.
5. After the interview and screening, a decision will be made about the student's application. Parents will be notified by mail, email or phone.
6. Applicants are formally enrolled when the parents pay the registration fee and tuition. In addition to the registration fee, the health forms (immunization records, physical exam) must be completed.
