Elementary

Admissions to the Danville Christian Academy are open to any Christian family who expresses their personal commitment to Jesus Christ through active membership in a local church. Numerous churches are represented in our school, as well as various national, racial and economic backgrounds. The Danville Christian Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

Pre-K and Kindergarten

Beginning in the fall of 2008, 4K and 5K students will be enrolled in ALL-DAY programs.  4K students must be four-years-old before September 1st and 5K students must be five-years-old before September 1st.

New Student Enrollment

A student applying for first grade must be six years of age on or before September 1st. Age does not necessarily determine grade level placement.

Admission Process

1. The following items must be returned to our business office as soon as possible:

• Completed application form

   

• Application and instructional fees

   

• Student’s cumulative record from the previous school (please be advised that you as a parent or guardian have a legal right to a copy of this file according to the Family Educational and Privacy Act, Final Rule on Educational Records, Federal Register, June 17, 1976, Vol. 41, No. 118, page 24675)

(Note: The admissions process will only move forward when these items have been received.)

2. An interview conference will be conducted with the student’s parents or guardians. The student is not required to attend for grades K-3 but is welcome to do so.

3. Student that will be entering first grade and up will need to take our placement test.

4. Parents will be notified promptly concerning admission following the conference and the test.

Tuition Policy

Tuition is charged on an annual basis. However, for the convenience of the parents, tuition may be paid in one of four ways:

• One payment due on the first day of the new school year.

   

• Two payments with one-half due on the first day of the school year and the second half due on the second Monday in January.

   

• Twelve monthly payments beginning on June 15th and ending on May 15th, paid through Smart Tuition.

   

• Ten monthly payments beginning on August 15th and ending on May 15th, paid through Smart Tuition.

If the account is 60 calendar days past due, the student may be dismissed from the Academy unless some arrangement has been made with the school to bring the account up to date.

Payments MUST be made to Smart Tuition except when the entire year’s tuition is paid at the beginning of the school year or on a two-payment basis. One-time and two-time payments should be made directly to the DCA office. The Smart Tuition Company offers options to pay from a coupon book, automatic bank draft, or credit card. See the Smart Tuition brochure for more information.

Upon a student’s valid withdrawal from school, yearly or semiannual tuition that has been paid will be pro-rated and returned to those who paid. Some valid reasons for withdrawal would be moving away from the Danville Christian Academy area, a long illness, financial difficulty in the family or some other similar circumstance. The Board will have the final say as to the validity of the withdrawal.
