Maranatha Academy Enrollment




Admissions Policy

Maranatha Academy admits students of any race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin in administration of educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, athletic, or other school-administered programs. To do so would be in violation of Christian principles as set forth in God's Word, the Holy Bible.
 
The following standards have been established for entrance into Maranatha Academy:
* Parents should be in agreement with our basic objectives and willingly and actively support our educational program.
* The student must be living with at least one parent who is a born-again Christian and committed to a local church as demonstrated by his/her consistent attendance.
* The student must have a sincere desire for a Christian education, and be willing to submit to the standards and regulations of the school.
* The applicant's entering record of behavior in his home, community, school, and church must indicate that Maranatha Academy can be reasonably sure that the applicant's
citizenship will be acceptable.
* Applicants entering grades 5-12 must attest to a definite born-again experience and give evidence of a daily relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
* A student transferring from another school must be in good academic standing. Should the student's accomplishments be below grade level as evidenced by recent grade reports and/or standardized achievement test scores, the student may be admitted on a probationary basis, or placed in a lower grade better suited for the student's achievement. All students must be enrolled in a minimum of four classes at campus to be considered a fulltime student.

Financial Aid

We understand that investing in your child's education can be an expensive endeavor so a limited amount of "needs based" financial aid is available to help offset the costs. To apply simply click on the link to the left and complete the online application form. The FAST company is a nationwide firm that assesses the level of financial need and matches it with the amount of financial aid available. You will be notified by the school admissions department of the amount of aid granted (note: It generally takes several weeks to complete the process).
