Enrollment into MCA is an opportunity granted by the administration. The administration reserves the right to deny any student enrollment. Enrollment in MCA is a privilege, not a right. The school reserves the right to remove any student who fails to meet or adhere to MCA standards, school policy, or the philosophy of the school and the First Baptist Church of Milford. Parents are also expected to support the school’s purpose and philosophy.

Students are admitted to MCA based upon available classroom space, personal character, and scholastic record. The school reserves the right to place a child in a lower grade if deemed necessary. MCA will not accept students who have been expelled from other schools or who have a history of disciplinary problems for behavior such as excessive absenteeism, drug or alcohol usage, aggressive behavior, or immorality.

Three-year-old preschool students must be three on the first day of attendance and may be required to repeat the three-year-old program the following school year depending on their birthdate.

Written statements regarding custody agreements must be disclosed upon enrollment and documents maintained on file. These documents must be legitimate orders from the court and must provide specific instructions as to pertinent custodial matters that affect the student.

MCA admits students of any race, color, nationality, and ethnic origin and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin in our educational and athletic policies and programs.

All families are required to set up a FACTS account. All tuition payments and miscellaneous fees will be paid through a FACTS account.

A parent/student orientation will be held prior to the first day of school for all new and returning families. Orientation is an opportunity for students and parents to communicate with staff, meet other families, become familiar with the layout of the building, retrieve class schedules, and drop off school supplies.

Reenrollment for the following school year begins in February and guarantees an opening for the next school year. If reenrollment is not completed by the announced deadline and classes are full, students may be placed on a waiting list. Accounts must be current in order to reenroll.

Student withdrawal must be conducted by the parent through the school office. Should it become necessary for a student to transfer, the parents will be responsible for the tuition through the current semester of the student’s enrollment. No refunds will be given for partial months of tuition. Outstanding tuition and fees must be paid in full at time of withdrawal. School records and report cards cannot be released until all accounts are paid in full.

Students desiring to enroll at Milford Christian Academy who were previously home educated or enrolled in another school will go through the admissions process using the FACTS Student Information System found on the school website. Admissions staff will request all documentation of academic, disciplinary, and specified records for consideration prior to acceptance. Students will be placed at appropriate grade levels and scheduled for classes that follow a clear path to high school graduation. Students whose academic history precludes a clear path to graduation may be denied enrollment at MCA.*

Should it become necessary for a student to be expelled, financial obligation is expected to be paid through the end of the semester in which the student was enrolled.
