Admissions Information
Pasadena Christian School offers a competitive academic environment for its students. For kindergarten, each child is given a developmental readiness test—we are interested in discovering the child’s readiness level both developmentally and socially. For first through eighth grades, an abbreviated SAT test is given- each student must be achieving at or above national grade level in order to be eligible for admission.
Students must also possess the age appropriate social skills and behaviors needed for them to be successful on our campus. A combination of testing, teacher recommendations and transcripts are used to evaluate each candidate for admission. Admission files must be complete before any candidate can be evaluated.
Pasadena Christian is a Protestant, evangelical school with a strong commitment to the teachings of Christ as Lord and Savior. It is expected that prospective parents support our Mission Statement and the school’s Statement of Faith.
The Admissions Committee, which evaluates each applicant, is made up of grade level teachers and the
department principal. Each principal is ultimately responsible for making the final recommendation to
the school Superintendent for admission.

Pasadena Christian School Observation Days are designed to allow prospective parents to meet the school administration, receive information and application materials, learn about the curriculum and programs offered to students and observe classrooms.
Due to the nature of the meeting and the length of time it will last, we ask that you not bring your children. If your children would like to see Pasadena Christian School, a special tour can be arranged.
