Admissions Policies
Valley Baptist Christian School exists to provide Christian education for Christian families. VBCS attempts to be discerning in the area of Christian belief and practice.
The first priority of Valley Baptist Christian School is to serve Christian families. VBCS admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
Valley Baptist Christian School works to help some students with learning difficulties. We believe that in an atmosphere of Christian love and concern, many students can make tremendous academic progress. However, we do not have the resources and personnel to be able to deal effectively with every learning problem. If the teacher and principal determine that a particular student’s needs are greater than the school’s ability to help, the school may advise the parents to seek assistance elsewhere.
Admission may be denied to any student who has been previously suspended or expelled from another school or who has had to repeat more than one grade.
Re-enrollment will take place between March 15th and April 15th each year. Returning students will be given priority during that month. After April 15th, registration for the coming year will be handled by a first-come, first serve basis. The re-enrollment fee will increase at the end of the current school year.
Families transferring their children from a private or a Christian school must settle financial obligations with the prior institution before enrollment may take place.
In order to enter kindergarten, a child must turn five years old no later than September 30th of that school year.
To be eligible for graduation, a student must enroll no later than the beginning of their senior year. First-time students enrolling in grades ten, eleven, or twelve must make records showing what credits they have earned available to the administrator. The administrator will then consider the feasibility of the student’s ability to meet the requirements for graduation as a condition for enrollment.
Parents must sign a statement that they are aware of the doctrinal stand of Valley Baptist Christian School and give their permission for the school to teach their child according to the school’s philosophy and doctrine.
New students will not be accepted for enrollment after the end of the first semester unless the family has just moved to the area.
