Steps for Admission to Kingsport Christian Academy: New Students
STEP 1: Look over the KCA website and pray about your decision to enroll in Kingsport Christian Academy. Please note: In order to maintain high quality education, we reserve the right to dismiss from the program any child who is disruptive to the education of other students and limit admission to any student based on previous disciplinary action by another school. The student must have been in excellent standing in issues of discipline from previous schools in order to be accepted. (Information about admission and school policies can be downloaded from our website). Because of the size of our school and limited resources, we may not be able to accommodate some types of special needs students (the Head Administrator and KCA Board of Directors make all final decisions in these cases.)
STEP 2: Complete an application. The Online Application for the upcoming school year available on line in early April. Go to www.KCALions.com and use the Prospective Student tab at the top of the screen to begin. Detailed instructions for completion and additional information are contained within the online application tool. A non-refundable New Student Application Fee will be required upon submission of the application to the school. To find out more about financial requirements, please visit our Tuition & Fees page on our website.
STEP 4: Once a student’s application is received and processed then parents will receive instructions via email for submitting a course request. If the desired class is full, you will have several options: 1. Place your child on the waitlist for that particular class, 2. Select another class for your child, or 3. Withdraw your request for the class.
STEP 5: New Family Conference: early June. You will receive a link to select the day/time for your conference shortly after your application is processed. Both parents and the co-teacher (if different from the parent) are required to attend this meeting. Students are welcome to attend, but are not required.
STEP 6: New Family Orientation: Early August. There will be a meeting of all families which will cover details regarding drop off/pick up, lunch, snow schedule, etc. This also is an opportunity for you and your student to meet their teacher and receive a syllabus for their classes. You will also be able to purchase an optional KCA t-shirt and/or hoodie.
