Enrollment Procedures

Enrollment in FCA is open to all Christian households committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and who are in agreement with our Statement of Faith as well as School Policies.

FCA offers enrollment to home-educating families throughout the world. Homeschooling laws vary from state to state and abroad. Although FCA’s academic and attendance requirements meet or exceed those of most states and countries, it is the responsibility of parents wishing to enroll their students in FCA to become informed regarding the laws of the land in which they reside. FCA is on record as supporting the rights of parents to home educate using the program they choose is best for their family.

FCA’s program is open year round, with enrollment beginning on July 1st and ending on June 30th. Enrollment into FCA begins the day we receive the student’s application and it expires on June 30th. Families must enroll their student(s) each year. Failure to enroll will terminate your child’s legal participation in Family Christian Academy and may be subject the family to truancy violations.

It is the responsibility of the parents or guardians to accurately report to FCA any difficulties the student has encountered with authorities in his/her previous school. (ie. suspensions, expulsions, disciplinary actions, etc.) Failure to disclose this information to FCA may result in immediate nullification of enrollment and loss of fees paid.

FCA will not allow immediate enrollment to any family currently undergoing legal scrutiny. However, the application will not be turned down, but will be held until the legal scrutiny is resolved.

FCA does not accept the enrollment of students who have been: suspended, expelled, arrested, held for questioning, substance abuse users, pregnant, fathered a child, smokes, involved in a cult or gang, or married. However, FCA believes in supporting a parent’s decision to choose the method of education they feel is best for their student. For this reason, FCA refers ineligible applications to New Beginnings Family Academy, an affiliate school that is able to assist you with the same services available to FCA members. FCA shares it’s contact information and offices with NBFA. Members of New Beginnings Family Academy adhere to a different fee schedule and are required to purchase and complete the Bible study, God’s Plan for Man, Upon successful completion of this course, students may earn 1 Bible credit. To enroll, complete forms A-E. (see NBFA fee schedule under Home Education on form A)

New Enrollment
FCA offers a variety of services and programs to it members. Become familiar with the information contained in this packet.

After selecting the program that best suits your family, complete and sign all appropriate enrollment forms and submit to FCA with the proper fees.

It is important that all materials and fees belonging to the previous school be resolved as this will delay records transfer until all outstanding obligations have been met.

FCA will request records from your child’s previous school on the day we receive your enrollment unless otherwise noted on your paperwork.

If a student is transferring from another school, the previous school should have all the information FCA is requesting. If the previous school does not transfer these items, we require that the parents furnish this information. The documents needed include: birth certificate, school medical exam form, and immunization form or letter explaining religious exemption from immunization.

FCA assumes that all information submitted is true and accurate and the family is not under investigation by any legal authority. Application is conditional, pending receipt of the above, and that the information proves to be true and accurate. Falsifying information will cause your student to be expelled and all fees paid will be forfeited!
