Vail Christian High School seeks to admit bright and energetic young men and women who demon-strate a potential for succeeding as contributing members of the Vail Christian student body. A placement test is required for all freshmen seeking admission. Freshmen applicants will be considered for acceptance on the basis of the placement test, overall middle school performance, personal refer-ences and an interview. Applications for transfer students will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Students who are failing academically or who have substance-related or disciplinary problems are not encouraged to apply.

The first nine-week period is considered a probationary period for all new students.

Application packets available at the school office.

• If your student is applying to be a freshman, have him or her take the placement test. You may call 766-4102 for information on test dates. There is a $25 testing fee.
• Complete the forms in the Application for Admission packet.
• Submit those forms along with copies of your student’s most current transcripts and most recent standardized test scores. Include your $100 non-refundable application fee.
• After review of your student’s application and placement test, we will contact you to arrange an interview.
• Once accepted, you will need to submit a $250 non-refundable enrollment fee which serves to guarantee your student’s place at Vail Christian.

The best way for a student to discover what it means to be a Vail Christian Saint is to experience a day of high school life on campus. Individual students and prospective transfer students can spend a day at Vail Christian and “shadow” a Vail Christian ambassador in order to experience the flavor of academic life on our campus and to get a taste of the spirit of the Vail Christian Saints.

Prospective students can visit Vail Christian most days that school is in session. We recommend a morning visit ending after lunch (please bring your own). If your student would like to shadow with another friend, that is possible as well.

Vail Christian does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in admitting students, or in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school administered programs.
