Ovilla Christian School - Enrollment Requirements

Enrollment Requirements

OCS' admission standards are somewhat more restrictive than found at many Christian schools; the OCS website clearly states that students expelled from other schools most likely will not be accepted for enrollment at OCS. In addition to meeting educational and tuition/fee requirements, OCS requires the following. (The list is a literal quotation from the school's website.):

• a parent/guardian must be a born again believer in Jesus Christ.
• at the secondary level, grades 7 – 12, the student must also be a born again believer in Jesus Christ.
• the family must have a Pastoral Reference indicating an active relationship in a Bible-believing church.
• the student entering grades 1 – 12 must be working academically on grade level as demonstrated by screening based on standardized entrance tests.
• the student entering five-year-old kindergarten must demonstrate readiness to begin school based on an informal kindergarten screening and must be five years old by September 1
• the student entering four-year-old kindergarten must be four years old by September 1
• the student must have an acceptable behavioral history with their former school.

The above listed requirements must be met by the student and parents every year; continued enrollment at OCS is not automatic, regardless of prior student achievement or ability to pay.
