Admissions Policy
Yucaipa Christian School exists to offer a Christian education in a Christian environment. It is a privilege, not a right, for the student to attend YCS. With this privilege comes certain responsibilities. The school reserves the right to recommend and/or determine grade or classroom placement of a child based on which educational program is best suited to meet his or her needs and abilities. Unfortunately, we do not offer special education programs. Factors in class placement include, but are not limited to: other students in the class, the teacher, behavior patterns, and academic ability. Students must be in good standing from the previous school attended (i.e., passing marks academically, good behavior record), as well as be willing to abide by all the procedures and rules of YCS.
Students are not required to be affiliated with a particular church or denomination to be considered for admission. Enrollment is considered an agreement between the school and the enrolling family.
Yucaipa Christian School admits students of any sex, race, color, and national/ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. YCS does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, or national/ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, and athletic and other administered programs except where necessitated by specific religious tenets held by the institution and its controlling body, Yucaipa Valley Christian School District.
