General Entrance Testing and Admissions Information

Pasadena Christian School offers a competitive academic environment for its students. Therefore each candidate must be achieving at or above national grade level in order to be eligible for admission.  In addition, 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 Missions Statement and the School's Statement of Faith. Students must also possess the age appropriate social skills and behaviors needed for them to be successful on our campus.  A combination of testing, recommendations and transcripts are used to evaluate each candidate for admission.  Admission files must be complete before any candidate can be evaluated.

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.

Admissions Information 
 
Pasadena Christian School begins accepting applications on October 1 for the following school year.  Along with the completed application, parents must submit the non-refundable application fee. All applications are dated upon receipt and processed in the order that they are received. Parents should give a "teacher recommendation form" to the child's current teacher to be filled out and sent via U.S. Mail or faxed directly to our office. Teacher Recommendation forms are to be sent directly to us from the teacher completing the form, which contains confidential information.  In addition, the child’s previous two years of report cards, as well as a copy of their certified birth certificate are to be submitted. 

Testing for prospective students begins in January and continues until all spots are filled. Parents will be notified by letter of the test date and time.  Each child is given selected sections of the Stanford Achievement Test.  This test is administered in a small group setting and proctored by fully credentialed teachers.  The Admissions Committee will then review the results of the testing, in addition to the teacher recommendation and report cards.  An interview may be scheduled if more information is needed.  Parents will be notified by mail if your child has been accepted.
