Admissions
THINGS TO KNOW
Attendance at Genesis Christian School is a privilege. Students are admitted based on their desire and their parents/guardians' support for a Christ-centered education. The privilege to attend may be lost by any student or parent who is not in harmony with the school's rules or spirit. Parents or guardians who desire a Christian education for their child may complete the application process to enroll him/her at Genesis Christian School. Students of all faiths who live in harmony with the principles and objectives of the school are welcome.
Students considering enrollment at Genesis Christian School should be in good and regular standing at their present school. Parents of students who need special education courses should seek the counsel of the school's director. In general, Genesis Christian School is not equipped to meet the needs of exceptional academic or behavioral situations.
Every child in Florida can receive a scholarship to attend private schools. The scholarship award amounts are based on the county where the family lives and can change yearly. Families are responsible for any part of the tuition not covered by the scholarship.
