ADMISSIONS PROCESS

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO PPCA INCLUDE:

  • At least one parent must be in agreement with our Statement of Faith and Admissions Policy.
  • The student’s academic success and behavioral good standing from the former school(s) must be evident.

    APPLICATION PROCESS:

    At least one parent/guardian should schedule a campus tour of PPCA with the Admissions Office and/or attend one of PPCA’s Preview Days. Bringing children on the tour or to the Preview Day is optional. Private tours can be scheduled by emailing in**@go****.com or calling 601-939-6229, option 1. Most tours are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 am, 10 am, 11 am, and 12:30 pm. The optimum time for Preschool tours is morning.

    After completion of a tour and/or Preview Day, families may submit the Online Application as well as a $25 non-refundable Application Fee for each student. (Note: an email with link to pay the Application Fee is sent upon the Application being submitted online).

    REVIEW:

    Upon submission of the Online Application, enrollment-related documentation, and payment of the $25 non-refundable Application Fee, a file is created for the prospective student and is submitted to the PPCA Admissions Review Team.

    The Admissions Review Team may require further documentation, placement testing, and/or family interview.

    For students applying for Admission to PPCA’s secondary grades (7th-12th), PPCA’s Admissions Director arranges for an interview with PPCA’s school administrators.

    If necessary, PPCA may conduct Placement Testing for students in 2G-12G. Placement Tests are generally conducted on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and are scheduled by the Director of Academic Advancement. Placement Tests vary in costs of $0-$40.

    Note: A review may take 3-10 days, depending upon the school calendar and Admissions season. Families may email the Admissions Office for their student’s review status if more than 10 days has transpired: in**@go****.com. 

    ACCEPTANCE:

    Families are contacted by PPCA’s Admissions Office through email to inform them if their students are accepted, turned down, or placed in a Waiting Pool. If accepted, an email is sent with an offer to enroll at PPCA and prospective families are asked to give their answers within 7-14 days of receiving an offer.

    If turned down, it may be due to a variety of reasons. If there is no room in a grade, a Waiting Pool may be created (see below). If it is due to a candidate’s academic or behavioral issues, then families are welcome to reapply the following year after recordable progress can be shown (example, improved grades or test scores, or no behavioral issues).

    WAITING POOL:

    One reason for not being accepted is if a grade is full and there is no space available for a student. A Waiting Pool may be created for grades that are full.

    Candidates must have their Application documents completed and submitted (including the $25 non-refundable Application Fee) before being placed on a Waiting Pool list.

    The Waiting Pool list is only current for the year in which the applicant is applying for Admission. Waiting Pool lists do not carry over to the next school year.
