ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES

Students are admitted to Robert Toombs Christian Academy on an individual basis.  An Admission file must be completed on each student to include items listed below.  Once the file is complete the Headmaster will review each applicant and schedule a conference with the parents and student making application.  Students will be accepted or denied following this conference.  If a student is denied admission parents may choose to appeal the decision of the Headmaster by requesting a review by the Admissions Committee.    The Board of Trustees shall elect three members to serve with the Headmaster and Guidance Counselor as the Admission Committee. 

The Admission file must be complete with the following items before a conference can be scheduled:

• Complete application for admission
• Transcript from the school the student is transferring from, complete with GPA.  An unofficial copy will suffice pending withdrawal from transferring school.
• A 2.8 GPA is required for admission.  Students may be admitted on academic probation following conference with Headmaster. 
• Standardized test scores
• Updated shot records
• Discipline and attendance history
• STAR test grades 1^st thru 8^th
• Writing sample and vocabulary assessment may be requested from students to ensure RTCA is able to meet the academic needs of the student.

All requested information must be provided and a conference held before a student may be admitted to RTCA.  RTCA does accept students on probation if deemed necessary.  All home schooled students will be admitted on academic probation.
