REGISTERING A STUDENT FOR IN-PERSON SCHOOL AT OUR BUILDING IN SYLVAN LAKE
STEP 1: BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE SCHOOL
- Read the parent handbook so that you are aware of our mission, vision, statement of faith, beliefs, values, policies, and procedures.
- Contact the school for an initial tour. An appointment will be made to meet with the principal. Both parents and prospective students attend this meeting.
- Be sure students and parents are both in agreement about wanting to attend. Parents must want their children to attend. Students must want to attend as well.
- All students are accepted on a probationary basis, and it is the student’s responsibility to conform to the standards set forth by the school. The Principal will have the authority to decide when these standards are not being met and will deal individually with the student and/or the parents, as the case requires.
STEP 2: GET ORGANIZED
- Have contact information ready for parent’s place of work and emergency contacts
- Have medical information ready, including their Alberta Health Care Number
- If one or more of your children is attending grade school in Alberta for the first time you will need their birth certificate(s). Your student might:
- Be entering Kindergarten
- Be entering Grade One and did NOT attend Kindergarten
- Have moved from out of province or a different country
STEP 3: MAKE DIGITAL COPIES (IF NECESSARY)
- You will need a digital copy of the birth certificate. You can create one by:
- Scanning it into your computer using a scanner
- Taking a picture with your phone
- Use a scanning app from your phone’s app store
STEP 3: SUBMIT THE APPLICATION PACKAGE REQUEST FORM
- Fill out the “New Registration Form Request” for new students from PreK-Grade 12
- If you are re-enrolling students who are already attending LCA in grades K-12, you can find a re-enrollment form HERE.
- If you are looking to register for our home education program instead, please click HERE.
STEP 4: COMPLETE THE DIGITAL REGISTRATION FORM
- You will receive an email in the next few days with a link to a PDF that you will be able to type your answers into and sign electronically. You do not need to print it out. You will get a form for EACH of the students you are registering.
- Lighthouse Christian Academy reserves the right to accept or delay acceptance for any student application.
