Our Admissions Process
Admissions Requirements
MVCA recognizes teaching of spiritual truth requires much reinforcement from the home and church. Therefore, the following requirements are necessary unless otherwise approved by the board for all student admissions:
- According to MVCA’s philosophy of education and the academic desires to enroll students who will exhibit the biblical values of showing care and concern for others in our school community as well as demonstrate enthusiasm for the learning process.
- Each student enrolling should have at least one parent or legal guardian express a personal, saving faith and relationship with Jesus Christ.
- The parents have read the purpose, philosophy, accepted doctrinal statements and standards of MVCA, and will support the same.
- Pupils admitted from other schools to MVCA must have a good conduct record and have put forth acceptable effort academically.
- Home school students are encouraged to enroll in specific classes on a per class fee basis, provided space is available.
- New families and students will be asked to provide past testing scores and transcripts. If needed, testing in reading and math will be required and a fee will be charged for the services.
