Elementary

We are glad you are interested in pursuing Southfield Christian School, and we look forward to serving you and your family while guiding you through our admissions process.

Elementary (K - 5) Admissions Criteria

We consider three major criteria for students applying for admission to Southfield Christian School.

Christian Faith - Students must come from a family that celebrates biblical values. One parent must be "born again" (that is, a follower of Jesus Christ who knows Him as their personal Savior) and adhere to the school's Lifestyle Statement. The family's active participation in a local church is important.
Academic Achievement - Students must have a "B" average on their report card in the core subjects, and score at grade level (above the 50th percentile) on nationally administered achievement tests. (For example, standardized tests such as ACT Aspire, MAP, MStep, and IOWA.)
Personal Character - Finally, the student's character, citizenship, and desire to attend Southfield Christian School impact admission.

Note: Kindergarten students must be 5 years old by September 1st of the school year.

Southfield Christian School's Doctrinal Statement, Vision, Mission, Philosophy and Lifestyle Statement can be found on the What We Believe page on this site. Our Lifestyle Statement and Parental Code of Conduct can be found and downloaded on the right side of this page in the links list.
