Enrolling your children at Community Christian Academy

In line with our belief that parents are accountable before God for the upbringing of their children, this school will only accept applications from families where parents are committed practicing Christians belonging to a local fellowship. Children would be expected to be church attendees. Primary age children should demonstrate an acceptance of and participation in their parent's Christian beliefs. Because of their importance as role models to younger pupils, secondary admission students should demonstrate a born-again experience characterized by the public acknowledgment of Jesus Christ as their LORD and Saviour.

Your Decision to Enrol Your Children

Please consider this carefully.

  • Do you agree with the objectives expressed by the mission statement?
  • Would you be able to meet your financial obligations of fee paying and purchasing uniform requirements?
  • Can you guarantee your support for the school by the signing of the parent contract?
  • Study the rest of the school manual carefully. Is this the type of education you prefer and can support unequivocally?

Have you answered 'yes' to all four? Now be led by the Holy Spirit as you pray for the discernment, which will confirm your decision as a conviction based on obedience to what the LORD is telling you about your child's education as opposed to a preference, which is changeable with circumstances.

Admissions Procedure

The minimum age for admission is 4 (four) years of age at 1st January for Reading Readiness (Kindergarten). In preparing to enrol your child, you may find these steps helpful:

  1. Study the School Manual thoroughly.
  2. Include any current school reports (if applicable) with your application
  3. Arrange a time for an interview (parents & child) with the principal.
Parents will then be notified by mail if accepted. After the official notification, the following needs to be completed before enrollment commences:

    • Payment of a Registration fee of $100 submitted within seven days after notification of enrollment (we will credit the $100 after the parent orientation course has been completed).
    • Medical history form submitted.
    • Parent contract signed.
    • Details of Fee payment agreed upon.
    • School uniform purchased.

Parental Involvement

Parent/staff relationships need to be characterized by a working relationship from which students will benefit. The Matthew 18 principle should be used as the vehicle for resolving any problems that may arise - i.e. levels of referral through Supervisor-Principal/School Pastor-Board. Most problems can be solved at the 'two people level'. If not, others can be involved in the mediation process. There is no place in a Christian school for derogatory criticism, slander or backbiting. "Do all things without grumbling and fault-finding and complaining (against God) and questioning and doubting (among yourselves)" Philippians 2: 14-15 Amp.
