ADMISSIONS PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 6TH GRADE Follow the procedure below for admission information regarding students: 1. A personal interview with an administrator (parent must have current report cards and standardized tests in hand). 2. Testing, if after reviewing report cards and standardized tests, it is deemed necessary. 3. Completed application along with registration fee. 4. PreK, JrK and SrK children must be 3, 4, and 5 years old respectively before September 30 in order to be accepted into the program. All children must be potty-trained.
7TH THROUGH 12TH GRADE 1. Same as admission for Pre-K through 6th grade. 2. Student must sign specified forms of commitment, good behavior, academic recommendations, and Pastor’s recommendation given at time of interview. Students not transferring from other Christian schools must fill out a questionnaire also given at time of interview. 3. Academic and Pastor’s recommendation forms must be accompanied with application and registration fee before acceptance. Enrollment in the LCS high school program is a privilege. We have provided this opportunity to parents who have a conviction that their teenager should have godly Christian instructors during his high school training. (Foreign students, see Foreign Student Admissions on web, leesburgchristianschool.org.)
GRADE PLACEMENT LCS reserves the right to place a student in the appropriate grade based on his abilities and by the diagnostic entrance test given during the interview. If, after the student has been placed in a particular grade, the teacher finds he is still struggling and not able to keep up, the administration will confer with the parents regarding tutoring and/or lower grade placement (tutoring costs will be charged to the parent). The administration will make the final decision.
EXPELLED, SUSPENDED OR DISRUPTIVE STUDENTS Children with a history of severe behavioral problems will be refused admission or re-admission if a present student. While the school earnestly wants to help such children, it is not fair to teachers, to other students, or to their parents, to have the normal process of instruction and learning interrupted by the distractions that unruly children bring into the classroom. If accepted, children will be on probationary status for the academic semester. At the end of this period, the disciplinary committee will meet to determine continued attendance at LCS. LCS does not accept students who have been expelled or suspended from other schools.
STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DIFFERENCES Some incoming students, who have been accepted with the knowledge that they have a learning difficulty, will be required to receive special tutoring throughout the year at parent’s expense ($12-$15 per session). They will also be put on the ―Basic Track‖ system. In some cases LCS may not be able to accept students with severe learning disabilities. It is not that we do not care for the individual, but rather LCS is not equipped or designed to help meet such needs. However, the administration will do everything in its power to direct parents to organizations or other schools which can help. Some students will be directed toward Passport Learning, a reading and math intervention program LCS participates in.
