Class Maximums/Wait Pool
Northwest Christian Schools adheres to grade/class maximums. If the applicant meets the standards, the student will be placed in our wait pool. When/if an opening occurs, the most qualified candidate will be selected. However, every attempt will be made to admit those children with siblings already in the school.
NWCS is committed to providing every student, regardless of their unique learning challenges, with access to a gospel-centered education. We understand the specific obstacles that students with learning differences may face and are dedicated to supporting them throughout their educational journey in collaboration with their parents. However, if a learning difference or prior diagnosis is not disclosed to NWCS at the time of application, this may lead to the student’s unenrollment.
Northwest Christian Schools admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. Northwest Christian Schools does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
