Admissions

Admission Process 

The admission process for Strathcona Christian Academy includes the three processes described below.  The SCA Society no longer handles application forms but initiates the SCA Society agreement process with families following EIPS registration.  Please contact SCA Elementary or SCA Secondary directly for admissions inquiries.

A:  Register with Elk Island Public Schools All students who wish to attend Strathcona Christian Academy within EIPS must register through Elk Island Public School’s online registration process.

• If you are a new student to EIPS, please click on the following link to register (open year-round): New Student Registration

• If you are an existing student in EIPS, re-registration for the 2024-25 school year will be open Feb 8-21, 2024. The re-registration form will be available via Permission Click.  SCA must be selected as your desired school of choice for the 2024-25 school year.  See EIPS Returning Student Registration for details.

• Available spaces at the school are filled according to EIPS Administrative Procedure 305.

B:  For SCA Elementary – Attend a School Meet and Greet  Once a spot has been made available to your child(ren), you will be contacted for an interview with the school’s administration.  The interview ensures families understand and endorse the school’s mission and vision, and it provides an opportunity for families to ask questions about the school’s programming and philosophy and tour the school.   Only families who attend an interview are considered for admission.  Families of all new students accepted into the program will receive a confirmation email or phone call after the interview.

For SCA Secondary – Attend a New Student Orientation  Families who are interested in attending SCA Secondary School should contact the school registrar. Once the school confirms there is available space in your child(ren)’s grade, families will receive information on, and must attend, a new student orientation to ensure understanding of our school’s philosophy and Christian programming.

C: Complete the SCA Society Agreement  Following the close of EIPS registration, returning families will receive an email from the SCA Society with 2024/25 enrollment and fees details.  After new families have had an interview or attended a new student orientation and received confirmation of acceptance into the program, the SCA Society will email an electronic agreement for families to sign and submit.
