 Admission Policy REQUIREMENTS
CHCS is sponsored and supported by the constituent members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church at College Heights, with the majority of the students being members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church family. However, no particular religious affiliation is required for admission. Anyone who sincerely desires a Christian education and is willing to uphold the standards and purposes of this school is invited to apply.
It is understood that when applications are made for admission to the school all students thereby pledge themselves to follow the regulations and to live in harmony with the ideals and policies of the school.
PRIVACY ACT
The Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) (“the Act”) protects the personal information of the public and employees of private sector organizations operating in Alberta. It governs the collection, use and disclosure of personal information by organizations in a manner that recognizes and balances the right of an individual to have his or her personal information protected, and the need of an organization to collect, use or disclose personal information for purposes that are reasonable.
CHCS is bound by the requirements of this Act and collects, uses or discloses personal information in accordance with its provisions.
To this end, parents will be requested to sign a permission form for their child(ren) as part of the Registration process to acknowledge acceptance of the privacy policies of CHCS.
SCHOOL ENTRANCE AGE
Because it is our belief that children should not be sent to school at too early an age, we request that students entering Grade 1 must attain the age of six by September 30.
Children will be eligible to enter the ECS program one year prior to entering grade one. Specifically, children must be at least five years old and not more than seven years old by September 30.
Exceptions (ex: special needs children) will be treated on an individual basis.
FOREIGN STUDENTS
Students whose parents are not residents of Alberta will be required to pay higher tuition fees. Since we are not able to access government funds for them, they will need to pay the regular tuition fees plus the government grant equivalent. These fees must be paid in advance of the school start date.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
All students requesting transfer to College Heights Christian School will be interviewed by the principal to discuss pertinent educational matters.
LIVING AWAY FROM HOME
When a student or prospective student finds it necessary to live outside the home, arrangements should first be discussed with the principal and approval granted by the school board.
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
Acceptance is conditional upon meeting the financial requirements outlined in the Application for Admission. Financial help may be available for those who apply and qualify. (See “Option 5", page 5 and “Financial Assistance”, page 6.) Back to Table of Contents |
