Enrollment/Admission Procedures

Harvest Christian School uses an application and interview process for admission to school. Application packets are available at the office. We look for students that have Godly character; we are not an outreach or rehabilitation program for students with character problems. We also look for families who attend and participate at the local Bible believing churches.
Our admissions process entails the following steps:
1. Submission of a completed student application
2. Placement testing for grades 1-12 (for applicants without recent standardized testing scores submitted from another school)
3. Entrance testing/screening for preschool or kindergarten, if necessary.
4. Payment of the Registration/Enrollment Fee

Documents needed for admission/enrollment can be found using the following link:

Volunteer Points

Tuition covers only a portion of school costs for each year. In order to run the school more efficiently, and keep tuition costs down, we require each family to earn volunteer points. Each two-parent family will be required to earn 25 volunteer points throughout the school year. Each single parent family will be required to earn 10 volunteer points throughout the school year. These points can be easily earned by supervising recess and/or lunch, buying supplies for fundraisers, working at fundraisers, making hot lunch, completing maintenance projects around school, and participating in a number of other activities.

If you have a question about volunteer points or what other things qualify, please call the office. Points are earned for each hour volunteered or money spent for fundraisers (with receipts turned into the office). The office will issue volunteer point statements at various times so you know what points you have earned. You can choose to opt out of the volunteer point requirement by paying $750. Sign-up sheets for fundraisers and HCS committees (Educational Policies, Finance, Public Relations, and Facilities) will be in the office.
