KISC Admissions Policy

The Admissions Policy was designed to support KISC’s mission, vision, values and passion statement. The objective of this policy is to accomplish the following:

  • To enable families to understand the criteria on which admissions are based and to feel cared for during the admissions process.
  • To give the Admissions Officer the opportunity to have clear communication, while also understanding each family’s personal situation, needs or concerns.
  • To help build a foundational relationship between KISC and new families.
  • To help KISC admit students and new families who are likely to impact our Christian school and be able to respond positively to the educational opportunities that we offer.
