admissions

Dear Prospective Parents:

We appreciate the opportunity to provide information about the application procedure, our

school’s history, beliefs, and purpose, and a schedule of charges for Salem Christian School. We are pleased that you would consider giving our school the opportunity to be involved in your child's education. Please give careful attention to the information provided below if you desire to

enroll a student at Salem Christian School.

STEP ONE

A completed Student Application Form and a $100.00 non-refundable Application Fee, per

student, must be submitted.

A copy of the transcripts from all previous schools should be submitted with the Student Application Form along with a copy of a valid birth certificate.

This documentation must identify successful completion of the preceding grade and national scores of 50% or greater in reading, math, and language on any standardized tests taken.

STEP TWO

The Principal will acknowledge receipt of your Student Application by scheduling an interview with your family. (both parents are encouraged to attend this interview, as well as the student)

All prospective students for grades one through eight must pass an entrance exam at “grade

level” to be eligible for enrollment for the grade of admission. This test will be arranged on a scheduled “Shadow Day”, during which the student will also visit the classroom, if during the school year.

STEP THREE

Upon notification of acceptance, the parent must complete and return a Student Enrollment

Form and the required payment within 15 days.

A contract will be offered with all financial details specifically defined. This contract must be signed by the Principal, both parents (if applicable), and the Administrative Assistant.

The enclosed Schedule of Charges provides information about the Initial Registration Fee,

tuition, other charges and details the payment schedule for the different charges.

STEP FOUR

State Law requires each student to present a certification of immunization before the student may attend school. Salem honors this law by requiring each family to provide a completed Immunization Form before the first day of school.

IMPORTANT FACTS

Salem Christian School will not enroll any student who has not met all requirements for

enrollment. (application, application fee, transcripts, birth certificate, interview, assessment, and immunization)

New student applications for the following school year should be received no later than March 1. Applications received after this date will be handled on a case-by-case basis, however there is no priority given to classroom placement for late applicants.

Salem Christian School admits students of any race, color, gender or national and ethnic

origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to

students of the school. Salem Christian School does not discriminate on the basis of race,

color, gender or national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies and

admission.

If you have any questions about registration or about our school, please call our Administrative Assistant, Mrs. Evelyn Rivera, at 773-227-5580.

May the Lord richly bless you and your family.

Respectfully,

Cindi S. DiIorio
