At Redeemer Christian School, we are committed to providing a high-quality, Christ-centered education that encourages academic, spiritual, and personal growth. Our admissions process is designed to ensure that students and their families are aligned with our mission and values. As part of this process, we conduct a thorough review of each applicant’s academic background, spiritual commitment, and family support to determine if Redeemer Christian School is the best fit for the student's education.
Redeemer Christian School admits students of any race, color, national origin, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It doesn't discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Admissions Process
- Application Form
Families complete and submit the application form, including relevant academic records and any necessary health information.
- Statement of Faith
Families should submit a statement outlining their Christian faith and values, affirming their support for Redeemer Christian School's mission and spiritual practices.
- Administrator Interview
A key component of the admissions process is a personal interview with the school administrator, which allows us to learn more about the student’s background, beliefs, and educational goals. This also provides an opportunity for families to ask questions and better understand our school's philosophy.
Administrator Interview
During the interview, the administrator will assess each applicant’s fit with our mission, values, and community expectations. The interview process involves questions designed to encourage open conversation and transparency. Both the student and at least one parent or guardian are required to attend.
Interview Questions
The following questions will guide the discussion:
For Parents:
- Tell us about your relationship with Jesus Christ. What does faith mean to you?
- What are your reasons for choosing a Christian education for your child?
- How does your family practice and nurture faith at home?
- How do you plan to contribute to our school community, both academically and spiritually?
- In what ways do you see your child contributing to and benefiting from our school’s Christian environment?
- Are you able to support the Statement of Faith and educational philosophy?
- What needs does your child have that we should know about? (Example: Does your child have an Individual Education Plan (IEP)? If yes, please explain.)
- Describe how you handle challenges and work through conflicts with others.
Admissions Decision
After the interview and completion of the application requirements, the Administrator will review the information and make a decision. Our goal is to admit students who are prepared for the academic rigor of our programs and who will contribute to a positive, faith-centered school culture.
