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 2025-26 school year will be open Feb 10-24, 2025. The re-registration form will be available via Permission Click.  SCA must be selected as your desired school of choice for the 2025-26 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 Open House/Orientation  An open house/orientation will occur in late January each year prior to registration opening. All interested families who intend on registering at SCE must attend. Families will have the opportunity to learn more about the school, take a tour, and be informed of all important information regarding registration.

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 2025-26 enrollment and fees details.  After new families have attended an open house or 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.
