·         Complete a student application form and sign the family covenant.  Students entering grades six through twelve must also complete and sign a student cooperation agreement.  Submit these documents along with a $150 application fee to the admissions department.

·         The admissions office will contact the family to set up an appointment for admissions testing, as well as an interview for older students.

·         All prospective students must be present during the interview with the school administrator.

·         Prospective students will be asked to take a placement test at a cost of $25.

·         If the school and parents are not in agreement on the decision to place the child at FCA, the application fee will be refunded.  Otherwise, this fee is non-refundable.

·         Final acceptance is based on the interview, testing results, and student application.

·         Parents must submit a photocopy of their child’s birth certificate.

·         Transfer students should complete all paperwork with the admissions department.  Once this paperwork is complete, the school office will request records directly from the student’s previous school.

·         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.

·         Students transferring into grades 9-12 will only be accepted from a home school or another Christian school unless a special exception is made by the administration.

·         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 with 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.
