ADMISSIONS
Crescent City Christian School, a private Christian school and a ministry of Celebration Church, will admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to the students of the school. Crescent City Christian School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality, and ethnic origin in administration of its educational and admissions policies, or other school-administered programs.
It is the desire of Crescent City Christian School to offer assistance to families in the New Orleans area in providing for their children a quality academic education in a distinctively Christian environment. We seek students among families who support the foundation of Jesus Christ, the truth of the Word of God, the practice of Biblical morality, and the goal of peak independent accomplishment spiritually, academically, socially and physically.
SCHOOL STANDARDS
Academic – Applicants will interview with an appropriate member of the administration. A determination will be made concerning the student’s likelihood of success in the CCCS program. Testing will be scheduled if it is determined to be necessary or helpful in deciding on acceptance or placement.
Conduct – The five behavior guidelines will be explained. Older students will be expected to sign a code of conduct involving abstinence from all forms of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, and immoral sexual behavior. CCCS students are expected to be exemplary, respectful, patriotic, and submissive. Any previous discipline problems or conduct concerns should be disclosed and will be discussed during the interview.
Spiritual- Applicants and at least one parent are expected to believe in and support our mission, philosophy, and statement of faith and be actively involved in their local churches.

ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES
Should you desire to pursue enrollment, please submit the following:
- Schedule and complete an orientation meeting and tour (or visit during one of the scheduled tours during open enrollment season). (Note: Tours are not mandatory for enrollment.)
- Fully completed Application Package (see below).
- All academic records (minimum of two previous years).
- Any other information which might have bearing on the student’s acceptance.
- The appropriate registration fee.
As part of the registration process, after receiving your completed application and the required tuition deposit, you will be contacted for an appointment and asked to attend an interview, which should be attended by both parents and the student. If one or both parents have no regular contact with the student and no input into decisions concerning his/her care, then the responsible parent, grandparent(s), or guardian(s) should attend the interview with an appropriate member of the Crescent City administration. The school office will make notification of your child’s status no later than one week (5 working days) after the interview. In order to allow time for prayerful consideration of all factors, NO decision will be rendered at the time of the interview. Upon acceptance, additional information will be provided concerning policies and procedures, school calendars, uniform acquisition, and other pertinent considerations.
Exceptions to the following policies may be granted by administrative approval only.
Review – All new students will be reviewed generally but not formally, after the first complete grading period, to help ensure their acclimation to and success at CCCS.
Probation – A student may be admitted or retained on either academic or disciplinary probation. When this occurs, the parents will be notified and the rules for probation will be strictly adhered to.
Beginning school – Students enrolling in pre-k 3, 4 or kindergarten must be three, four or five years old (respectively) on or before August 31st of the current year. No student will be enrolled in the first (1st) grade program whose sixth (6th) birthday is later than August 31st of the current year. In order to be enrolled in any grade first (1st) or above, the student must be able to show proof of having successfully completed the previous grade.
Non-payment – Should any balance due fall 30 days behind, the student may be withheld from classes until balances are current. Late fees will apply, and lack of communication with the school will be viewed as evasive action.
Refunds – All fees are non-refundable after a student is accepted. Should a tuition refund be in order, it will be approved and enacted within 30 days.
