Frederick Christian Academy - What is the admissions process at FCA?

Complete a pre-registration form and submit the processing fee, along with any previous school records that are available, including a copy of the most recent report card.
Submit a photocopy of the student’s birth certificate.
The admissions office will contact the family to set up an appointment for admissions testing, as well as an interview for older students.
If the student is accepted for admission, a final registration form must be submitted along with the non-refundable registration fee. This fee will hold the student’s place until July 1, when the book and materials fee is due.
The state of Maryland requires all students to submit a current immunization record and birth certificate prior to the start of the school year.
All new students are accepted on a probationary status, and new seniors are accepted only under special circumstances. Very rarely are students accepted for admission after January, particularly in grades 9-12.
Since Frederick Christian Academy does not operate a special education program, we cannot accept students who have academic needs which we are unable to meet. Generally speaking, if a student has a diagnosed disability, which has generated an individual educational plan, FCA would have difficulty meeting that child’s needs.
Note that since Frederick Christian Academy’s primary mission requires a distinctively Christian environment, those students who have been suspended or expelled from other schools generally cannot be admitted to FCA. In addition, married or pregnant students or students involved in inappropriate sexual behavior cannot be accepted.
Junior and senior high students and their parents are required to sign a statement of cooperation each year.
All students are required by Maryland law to have on file in the school office a record of their Maryland state immunization records. Failure to submit this form will result in the student not being able to attend FCA until one is received in the school office.
Frederick Christian Academy admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
