A number of factors will be considered when determining whether a child is accepted into Providence Hall. The student’s academic record, test scores, and maturity level will all be considered, as well as the student’s experience with classical schooling. But these factors, though important, may not ultimately determine the student’s acceptance. Most important to us is that we enroll students who, because of their own families’ priorities, will most benefit from what Providence Hall can offer to them.
Providence Hall uses an admissions procedure that resembles the application process used in many other private schools and colleges. This procedure allows the school to identify and admit students from families who have clearly expressed convictions that are similar to Providence Hall’s regarding the education of children.
The selection and make-up of the school’s student body is second only to staff selection in the impact it has upon the school’s mission. The family-like atmosphere Providence Hall seeks to foster is due in great measure to the similarity of Biblical convictions and principles taught and lived out in many of the homes of our students. As the Lord blesses us with growth and change, we want to do all we can to maintain and build up that atmosphere.
The basic process for new applicants is as follows:
January 1 through February 15 of each year:
· New applications and school handbooks will be dispersed and completed applications will be collected.
· Interviews, school visits, and requisite documentation related to each new student will be evaluated as received.
· Notification of acceptance or denial will be mailed to each applicant within 30 days of acceptance or as soon as possible. Accepted applicants will receive all appropriate information for preparing for school, including financial arrangements.
After February 15: Applications will be considered as they are received and as space permits.
For enrollment of current students, re-enrollment forms will be mailed directly to families.
