ENROLLMENT

Admission Process

MidState Christian is a ministry that serves our community and has an open enrollment policy. All students who apply will undergo an academic evaluation to determine their placement. For Kindergarten, applicants must be five years old on or before September 1st, while First Grade applicants must be six years old on or before the same date to be considered for enrollment screening. However, simply meeting the age requirements does not guarantee readiness for a formal school program. Therefore, a developmental readiness screening will be conducted to ensure proper placement.

For new admissions in 7th-12th grade, students will be required to participate in an application process that evaluates their academic, spiritual, and character history.

Enrollment Process

To enroll your student in MCA, you must complete all digital forms and pay the registration fees. The following steps must be taken:

  1. Digital Enrollment Form: Fill out this form completely.
  2. Student Statement of Cooperation: This must be signed digitally. An additional hard copy will be signed during the first week of school.
  3. Health Records: CT law requires that the student receive a Physical Examination, Certificate of Immunization, and Health Assessment Record. This form must be on file before the student is admitted to MCA. If the form is not received immediately, the school nurse will provide a reminder. If the paperwork is still not received, the student will not be able to return to school until the health records are received or a date of provision is provided.
  4. Request for School Records: (Grades 1-12) All school records must be received from the previous school.
  5. Student Information Sheet
  6. Registration fee: The fee must accompany the completed enrollment paperwork.
  7. Interview: An interview may be required for new students in 6th-12th.
  8. Medication Administration Form: If applicable, this form needs to be signed by a physician. Please include the prescribed medication with an expiration date.

Please make sure to follow these steps carefully to ensure that your student is properly enrolled in MCA.

Early Re-enrollment

In February, existing students should re-enroll through FACTS management to secure their spot for the following year. Enrollment opens on February 1st and any available spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Lower elementary classes tend to fill up faster, so we suggest current families re-enroll in February to guarantee their placement.

Pre-K Enrollment

Many Preschools and Daycares across the state use the full year model for their enrollment. Effective June, 2024, Midstate Christian Academy will be transitioning into a full year enrollment program.

Current Enrollment Model is as follows
