the goal of our admissions policy is to identify students whose lives will be enriched through participation in the spiritual and educational programs offered at rwca. in assessing a prospective student, the school will consider the following factors in determining the suitability of programs that will match each student.

criteria for spiritual commitment:

1. the parent(s) and the student are required to read and understand our “statement of faith.”
2. the student and at least one parent/guardian must profess jesus christ as their lord and savior.
3. the student must participate in and be open to spiritual growth.
4. the parent(s) and the student must be active and faithful in church attendance.

**because we believe that our ministry is to both the believer and the unbeliever alike, some exceptions may apply to our spiritual criteria which will be decided during a pre-screening entrance exam. please call our administrative offices for more information.

criteria for academic performance:

1. all students will be academically assessed upon admission. additionally, there will be ongoing assessment throughout the year to determine each student’s academic progress.

criteria for behavioral performance:

1. students will be required to adhere to the rules of the school as stated in the policies and procedures handbook.
