Enrollment - Apply for the 2012-2013 school year

Enrollment

We welcome your interest in seeking admission for your children at Living Waters.

Living Waters is rooted in evangelical Christianity and will only accept students whose parents agree with biblical principles and the statement of faith of the school and support their children being trained in accordance with those principles. All parents are expected to comply with the policies and regulations of the school, the Statement of Faith and the Parents’ Commitment. Students in grade 7 through 12 are expected to complete the Student Questionnaire and show a genuine, personal desire to be educated at Living Waters. A pastoral recommendation is required as it is a high priority that families are attending the local church.

To ensure that harmony exists between what is taught at home and at school, parents will be required to attend an interview conducted by the principal. Students in grade 7-12 will also have an individual interview with the principal. Parents will be informed of the acceptance or decline of their registration after the complete application has been reviewed and the student and parent(s) have had an interview with the principal.

Admission to Living Waters is based on the following:

•    The family’s desire for Christian Education
•    The family's alignment with our mission and vision
•    The student’s academic fit
•    Available classroom space at LWCA
