Admissions Policy
Destiny Christian School is a private Christian school that accepts registrations on a space basis. Our school is rooted in and continues to operate within the bounds of evangelical Christianity. DCS does not exist to reform attitudes or modify behaviour, but rather to provide an educational program (teachers, curriculum, and activities) that brings glory to Jesus Christ. The educational philosophy of DCS is based on a Christ-centered view of truth as presented in the Bible. A personal, dynamic relationship with Jesus is at the heart of our mission and school culture. Parents and their children are expected to acknowledge and affirm their support for the mission and biblical principles of the school.
Each year the school evaluates the students to confirm that the goals of the school and students are compatible. Returning students and families may be declined readmission, at the discretion of the administration. A condition for readmission is that financial obligations to DCS have been met.
All new students interested in enrolling at DCS must complete the Application for New Students.
Parent and student interviews are a key part of the admission process. They enable you to meet with school administration, learn more about DCS and confirm that your student truly wishes to attend DCS and support its mission and program. A commitment form supporting the school’s mission and philosophy must be signed prior to acceptance. Registration Fees are due with the receipt of each application form and are non-refundable. A payment plan for society fees is required upon acceptance.
Application and Enrollment Process
New student applications will be considered throughout the year. Applicants are placed in a pool of potential students and may be contacted for an interview as space becomes available. The following priorities are considered in the enrollment process:
- 1st priority — returning students before the re-registration deadline.
- 2nd priority — potential students with siblings currently attending DCS and children of staff.
- 3rd priority — potential students of Home Church families.
- 4th priority — potential students outside of the above listed groups.
If two students are of equal priority for an available class placement, date of application will be an important consideration. New families are encouraged to apply early.
Notice of Non-Discriminatory Policy
Destiny Christian School accepts students of all races, color, national and ethnic origin, who form part of the student body, to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
