Admissions and Tuition

Admissions

Miramonte Christian School serves an ethnically and socially diverse student body. Our classrooms are open to any family committed to a solid and sound Christian educational learning experience for a child. For over 80 years our open-enrollment policy has brought together children from all walks of life, ethnic origin, and social status. As they learn together, play together, and pray together, children not only acquire an excellent education; they also learn core spiritual and moral values that will guide them through life.


Applications for all grades must be completed and an admissions fee paid to start the admissions process. The admission process for new and transferring students generally requires:

  • Verification of prior academic status and achievement
  • Completion of a proficiency exam
  • Letters of recommendation
  • Student and Parent/Guardian interview with the Principal and Admissions Committee

Re-applications for the Fall school year are available in early February, and due no later than the start of Spring Break mid March. The Admission Committee generally makes returning student acceptance decisions by April 15. New student applications should be made as early as possible. Mid-year admissions will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

  • Partnering for Eternity (PFE)  - Service, Mentorship, and Friendship   Miramonte Christian School, in partnership with Southern Adventist University’s PFE grant, has the opportunity to offer unique tuition assistance to our students. Through this service-oriented scholarship grant, our participating students are paired with adults in our community in a mutually-beneficial way.  Building inter-generational connections provides opportunities to receive Christ’s blessings of service, growth, and friendship.     Students in the PFE grant, along with their parents, bring joy to the lives of older citizens through fun activities such as visiting, reading, and playing games. When appropriate, they may also provide light housework. As the young people build generational bridges and learn the value of service, they also benefit from the wisdom and mentorship of the older adults. In the process, their time together helps finance the student’s Christian education.  If you would like more information, please contact:  miramonte.pfe@miramonteschool.org
