Admissions

For most families, the application process begins through an introduction to our school. This may include visiting us at a school fair or open house, or calling us to request materials or to schedule a tour. All prospective families must complete a formal orientation, scheduled through the Admissions Office. At this meeting with the parents and guardians, and preferably the student(s), spiritual, educational, and philosophical expectations will be discussed. A tour of the facility will be given. This will likely last 30-60 minutes. After the orientation both parties should know if BCS will be a good fit between the family and the school. If the school sees no problem with a continuation of the process, it is then up to the family to fill out an application form and return it to the school. A Pastor's Recommendation will also be required.

Any student who has been expelled or suspended from another school must demonstrate one complete year of good behavior at another school before being considered for admission to Bethesda Christian School.

Kindergarten Cut-off Date: The child must be 5 years old on or before September 1. All kindergarten students will be tested to ensure school readiness for a successful school experience.

Financial Aid: You will need information from your 2009 federal tax return in order to apply for financial aid. Financial Aid applications may be submitted on-line at the FACTS Grant and Aid Assessment site after you have been accepted to BCS.

Bethesda Christian School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin or previous doctrinal belief.
