Nondiscriminatory Policy
Students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin are admitted to all the rights, privileges, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at Grove Avenue Christian School. GACS does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in its administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, athletic, or other school-administered programs.

Enrollment
Grove Avenue Christian School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or ethnic background of any student in admissions or administration of its policies and programs. Our mission is to assist Christian families to obtain Biblical and academic education of their children. Attendance at GACS is a privilege. We require our applicants to meet the following criteria:

1. At least one parent of the student must be a professing Christian. However, high school students may also be considered if they profess Christ and desire to be a part of the school and whose parents are willing to have their child attend the school and agree to cooperatively support the standards of the school.

2. The Christian parent(s) and the student must be regularly attending and, as a general rule, also a member participating in ministries or additional activities in a Christian church.

3. Family beliefs and practices should be consistent with the standards, doctrines, and values of the school. A student should either be a professing Christian or, by attitudes and behavior, show evidence of favorable considering such a decision. Obviously, children do not all arrive at understanding and conviction on spiritual matters at the same age. In a case where a student or parent is unwilling to support the standards, doctrines, and values of the school, the student may be denied enrollment or re-enrollment.

4. Students applying for admission to Grove Avenue Christian School must be academically capable of being educated at GACS. They must show through placement tests and prior grades that they can perform within the acceptable range established by GACS. GACS reserves the right to place a student in a lower grade level class based on significant academic deficiencies in that area.

5. Grove Avenue Christian School is not in a position to provide specialized resources or services required by students with individual learning needs.

Re-enrollment: Each student's status will be reviewed yearly, and Grove Avenue Christian School reserves the right to deny any re-enrollment request based on a student's behavior, behavioral record, or academic record during the immediate preceding school year.
