Parents wishing to enroll students in Cornerstone Christian Academy must fill out a student application for each student. Each new student application must be accompanied by a $125 registration fee (maximum $250 family fee), a recent report card, and copies of standardized test results (if available). Returning students pay a $75 re-enrollment fee if re-enrolled by January 31. Returning students who re-enroll after January 31 will pay a $100 re-enrollment fee. When materials for new students have been submitted, an interview will be scheduled for the family with the headmistress and the principal. While we prefer to conduct the interview with both parents (if living with or if financially responsible for the student), we understand that due to unforeseen circumstances, it may be possible for only one parent to be involved in the interview. We do reserve the right to place students in the appropriate instructional level as determined by test data and developmental maturity. The Commonwealth of Virginia requires that children must be five years of age by September 30th to be eligible for kindergarten, and six years of age by September 30th to be eligible for first grade. In addition to the registration form and fee, kindergarteners must have a completed health form before beginning school in the fall. Each year, parents will receive a parent commitment form that should be signed and returned to the school. Registration fees are nonrefundable if space is available and the child is accepted. If no space is available in the class requested for a particular student, the student will be placed on a waiting list.

Tuition Assistance
In recognition of the financial sacrifice that many families make in order to send their children to private schools, Cornerstone Christian Academy offers a Financial Aid Program. If your family has a total family income of less than $50,000 a year, we encourage you to request information about this program. Cornerstone Christian Academy utilizes the services of the Family Financial Needs Assessment Group. Necessary forms are available in the CCA office. The family completes the information and returns it to FFNA. FFNA then sends a confidential report to the CCA Headmistress. Financial aid is provided based upon the results of this report and the available funding.
