Admission Policy

Christian education is more meaningful and successful if the Christian school is supported by a Christian home and a Christian church.  The Biblical admonition to “train up a child in the way he should go…” is the key stone of Yonkers Christian Academy.  It is helpful that the three institutions, the home, the school, and the church be in agreement to accomplish the mission of Christian education.

The following admission policies have been adopted to assure consistent standards of admission in agreement with the statement of philosophy:

  1. Both parents (if applicable), must agree not to oppose the Biblical teaching of the school, and must be supportive of their child’s attendance at Yonkers Christian Academy.
  2. The parents must sign the Parental Agreement form indicating their willingness to comply with the stated requirements.
  3. Parents and students will be interviewed by the Admissions personnel.  Both parents must be interviewed except under unusual circumstances.

All prospective students transferring must have their records transferred from their former school prior to admittance to indicate no encumbrance.

The admissions committee will determine the eligibility of a student based on:  application data, student/parent interview, priority, space availability, and student interest.

The registrar may, upon the recommendation of the admissions office, refuse to admit students with severe behavioral, psychological, educational, medical handicaps, or poor financial history.

All requirements of physical health (in accordance to Section 803 of the Education Law) and immunizations required under Section 2164, Pubic Health Law, must be accomplished prior to admission and evidence on file with the registrar.

The registration fee (non-refundable) MUST be paid at the time the application is submitted.  There will be no exceptions.

Applicants will be notified in writing regarding their acceptance or rejection by the office of the registrar.
