Admissions Requirements & Procedures
- Call or email the school with any questions.
- Fill out an application and pastoral recommendation.
- Upon return of a completed application and pastoral recommendation, if an interview with the family has not already been held, one will be arranged with the Headmaster. The interview gives the school an opportunity to make sure you understand Wisdom & Truth Classical Academy’s goals as well as our policies and procedures. The interview also gives you an opportunity to become better acquainted with the faculty and ask questions or express concerns.
- Students will have a brief evaluation (at the Headmaster’s meeting or scheduled for another time).
- Parents will be notified whether their child has been accepted or not.
- All financial arrangements between the family and the school must be understood and agreed upon before an admission is considered final.
Admission Requirements for All Parents
Wisdom & Truth Classical Academy sees its primary mission as being a discipleship school, assisting Christian parents in nurturing and training their children in the admonition of the Lord. Therefore, at least one of the parents of a WTCA student must be a Christian who is a member in good standing at a Protestant Bible-believing local church. The parents of students at WTCA (including an unbelieving spouse) should have a clear understanding of the biblical philosophy and purpose of WTCA, as demonstrated in their interview. This understanding includes a willingness to have their child exposed to the clear teaching in accord with the school’s Statements of Faith in various and frequent ways within the school’s program. The parents must be willing to cooperate with all the policies of WTCA.
Admission Requirements for Students
- A child must have reached the age of five years by August 31of the fall in which he would be entering Kindergarten. An appeal to this rule may be heard by contacting the Headmaster.
- A child entering first grade must have reached the age of six years by August 31 of the fall in which he would enter WTCA.
- If a child has successfully completed the previous school year and his schoolwork and behavior compare favorably to the comparable grade at WTCA, the child will be placed in the grade for which he is applying. However, if there is evidence to show that the child may not be adequately prepared for the next sequential grade level, with the parents’ compliance, he may repeat the previous grade. Some students may be tested in basic skills such as reading comprehension, spelling, and math before being placed in a particular grade level. The need for testing is determined by the headmaster, in conjunction with the classroom teacher.
- The child should understand that his parents have delegated their authority to the school. Therefore, he is subject to the instruction and discipline of the teachers and headmaster in their prescribed roles at WTCA.
