ADMISSIONS POLICIES
| General Admissions Policies |
 At Covenant Day School, our goal is to glorify God by assisting the Christian family in the discipleship, education, and nurture of its children, and to ensure the success of each student who is enrolled. Our partnership with parents, and each student's success begins with the admissions process. Covenant Day School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, or national and ethnic origin. Due to high demand for placement and high re-enrollment rates at Covenant Day School, students may be placed on a waiting list. Placement of students in grades 1-12 on the waiting list is based on the date of the application and priority status. Placement on the waiting list does not constitute acceptance. |
| Financial Aid |
A family may apply for financial aid at any time during the application process but will not be awarded any aid until the student is fully accepted into the school and the family has paid the enrollment deposit. Please contact the Business Office for information regarding financial aid and other financial matters.
CRITERIA:
Financial Aid is awarded solely on a family's financial need.
WHEN TO APPLY:
A family may apply for financial aid at any point in the application process.
HOW TO APPLY:
Financial aid applications are available in all school offices. Please call the school's Business Manager for additional information 704.814.1004. |

Enrollment is contingent on an opening for a special needs student, a review of previous school performance, teacher recommendations, pastor recommendation, admissions testing, other specialized testing as deemed appropriate by the administration and/or the Director of Academic Resources, and a successful parent/guardian interview with the Head of School or appropriate school principal. Admission to Covenant Day School is at the sole discretion of the school's administration. |
