Since God's love extends equally to all people, Plaza Heights Christian Academy welcomes and encourages all children regardless of sex, race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin to apply for admission, financial aid, and any/all programs of the school and does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin in the administration of any program of the school.



Plaza Heights Christian Academy accepts students entering kindergarten through twelfth grade upon successful completion of registration requirements. These requirements include placement testing for students entering first through twelfth grade, a review of their previous school records, and providing evidence that the parents/guardians share in the goals of the school based upon its philosophy and purpose.

The biblical and philosophical goal of Plaza Heights Christian Academy is to develop students into mature, Christ-like individuals who will be able to exhibit qualities of a Christ-like life. Of necessity, this involves the school’s understanding and belief of what qualities or characteristics exemplify a Christ-like life. Even though parents may personally believe differently, while enrolled at PHCA, all students are expected to exhibit the qualities of a Christ-like life espoused and taught by the school, and to refrain from certain activities or behavior. Thus, PHCA retains the right to refuse enrollment to, or expel, any student who engages in sexual immorality, including any student who professes to be homosexual/bisexual or is a practicing homosexual/bisexual, as well as any student who condones, supports, or otherwise promotes such practices (Leviticus 20:13 and Romans 1:27).

Registration:

A child is not officially enrolled until all of the following requirements have been met.

1. The application form (New Students, Returning Students or Preschool/Pre-K) has been completed and accepted. The application fee must accompany the application.


2. Parents have attended an interview with the school administrator and two members of the school board. Students entering fifth grade and above will be required to attend the interview.
3. A copy of the birth certificate for kindergarten and first grade students must be on file in the school office.
4. Children must have all the required immunizations as specified by Missouri State Law or have appointments to receive the necessary immunizations. If this condition is not met, your child is not enrolled in school. If your child is permitted to begin school on the condition that he/she is in the process of receiving his immunizations, he may attend school only as long as the immunization process is continued. Upon completion, it is the parent’s responsibility to provide the school office with written documentation that the child has received the required immunizations. Failure of the parent to continue, complete, and provide proper documentation of the child’s immunizations will result in the child being removed from school until compliance has been achieved. Missouri law requires that we comply with this regulation.
5. If the student is transferring from another school, we must have an authorization form signed by the parent or guardian requesting all records from previous schools. There must be no outstanding balance owed to the school that you are transferring from.
6. A student will not be readmitted if there is an outstanding tuition balance from the previous year.
7. All fees must be paid in full.
8. Financial arrangements for tuition must be made with the school office.
9. A Parent/Student Agreement must be completed and signed by the parent(s) and student.
