Admission:
Screening & Acceptance, Tuition and Tuition Aid
Enrollment of New Families

New families considering enrollment must first file a complete application packet with the secretary, and pay a screening fee. After satisfactory screening tests and a family interview with the Academic Dean, written or verbal notice of acceptance will be made. All other appropriate fees are to be paid before the student may attend class.
Screening & Acceptance

Greater Portland Christian School is a private Christian school. While the school would like to take in and educate any and all children, unfortunately we do not have the staff or the resources to educate children with special needs. Consequently, we cannot accept any children with current major learning difficulties (i.e., children who have been involved in special education programs). Similarly, the school cannot accept any student who has a history of major emotional problems or major disciplinary problems.

All students must undergo a screening process before they can be admitted to the school. The screening process will include an achievement test. For the reasons stated above, no student can be admitted to the school if his/her achievement test indicates that he/she is below a 4 standing.

Students who pass the screening process will be given preliminary admission to the school. However, all new students enrolled in the school will be admitted only on a probationary basis for the first three (3) months, and can be refused admission at any time during those first three (3) months.

No decision concerning final admission to the school can be made until the school administrator has had an opportunity to review the student's previous school records.

GPCS seeks support from strong Christian students and parents, but does not require a profession of faith from them. We do require our teachers and Association members to subscribe to the Statement of Faith.

GPCS does not discriminate in any of its programs on the basis of gender, race, color or country of national origin.
