Admissions Process

Search and Teach
SEARCH & TEACH is an early intervention program developed to meet the educational needs of young learners.  SEARCH is a 20-minute individual test designed to identify strengths and weaknesses in readiness skills necessary for reading success. TEACH is a program of 55 learning activities called “tasks”, carefully designed to address needs revealed by SEARCH.  The tasks are ordered from simple to complex and organized into visual, visual-motor, auditory, body-image, and intermodal skill clusters which correspond to the elements of the SEARCH test.

Current students will have first priority provided that the registration fee is received by the priority registration deadline in January. All current students not registered by open enrollment in February may be placed in a waiting pool. Grapevine Faith Christian School reserves the right to determine the class placement of a student. Special priority consideration will be given to staff and faculty of Grapevine Faith Christian School. In all cases, admission of a student is contingent upon the approval of the Administration.

Siblings of current students will have second priority provided that a completed Student Application and application fee is received by the priority registration deadline.

Students from the community will be eligible to apply at the close of current student and sibling application process. These applications completed by February 1st, will have interviews scheduled, provided that the application fee is received with a completed Student Application. Completed applicants with interviews received by the end of February will be considered in the first round of admission decisions. All applications received after this date will be reviewed and considered on a rolling basis. Admission decisions will be made based on students meeting the behavior, academic, spiritual and attendance requirements for admission.

Full admission is reviewed annually for continuing enrollment. A full admission is given to students who: 1) are performing at or above grade level; 2) attend school regularly; and 3) submitted to school policy during the previous school year. New applicants will be expected to have submitted to his/her previous school’s policies for entry to Grapevine Faith Christian School. Full admission status can be changed for academic, attendance, or disciplinary reasons.

Tuition for the upcoming year is due and payable June 1st, or at the time of enrollment, whichever is later.

Applicants with deficiencies in any of the specified areas may be offered probationary admission for up to nine weeks if the Administration feels the deficiencies can be corrected by the end of that time. The Administration reviews the probationary admissions each grading period. If the necessary corrections have not occurred, the student may be denied further admittance. If the Administration believes it is highly likely the deficiencies will be corrected at the end of a second six weeks, probationary admission can be extended.

Tuition for the upcoming year is due and payable June 1st, or at the time of enrollment, whichever is later.

The Administration will give denial of admission if the applicant is deficient in one or more of the specified areas and correction during the nine-week period is unlikely. Denial of admission does not prohibit a student from applying again if deficient areas are corrected.
