Applying students must complete entrance testing as determined necessary by the Admissions Office. When an application is complete, a family conference is scheduled with the appropriate divisional principal(s). Families will attend the conference without their child for grades K4-5. Students entering grades 6 through 12 will meet with a TFA administrator. The purpose of the family conference is to explain the mission and expectations of the school and allow parents the opportunity to share their expectations and personal walk with Jesus Christ.
