We’re so glad you’re ready to join us! To apply, complete our online application and submit the additional documents requested so that we can consider your child’s application. We’re here to help if you have any questions along the way.

We operate on a rolling admissions basis so families may always apply anytime. Enrollment season for the upcoming school year typically opens in January. To see if there are available seats in your grade, contact our Enrollment Director, Jill Pope.

Led by the Campus Director, you’ll see our facilities, meet staff and students, and hear how we educate – with an interactive framework that makes students excited to learn and care for their world. Our Director will usually schedule a testing appointment while you’re there and your visit with her that day may serve as your family interview.

During a visit to our Middle and High School, you’ll get to know our Admissions Director, see our state-of-the-art facilities, meet administrators and staff, and hear how we mold Ambassadors through excellent academics and programs. If you have a particular area of interest, let us know ahead of time and we’ll arrange for you to meet someone from that specialty.

Testing is an important part of our Admissions process so that we can be sure your child will be successful at NCS. For students who will be in Pre-K through 5th grade, you will schedule a testing time with the Campus Director. Students in rising grades 6 – 12 will be given instructions for scheduling directly with our testing partner after an application is submitted.

We understand paying for private school can be a barrier and we’re here to help. Our Financial Aid program makes a difference for many NCS families. Visit our Affordability page to learn more.

Norfolk Christian has a selective Admissions process, knowing we are not the right fit for every student or family.

We accept students who are at grade level understanding or above in core courses and who have a history of being a positive influence on their classroom environments. Evaluations from former teachers are helpful to this process. We also ask that students have demonstrated respect for authority in their previous school settings and that they do not have major conduct infractions.

We accept families in which at least one parent has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. A written Personal Testimony from at least one parent is required as part of the application process. Parents should be willing to partner with us in educating their child from a Christ-centered point of view, as well as maintaining a home environment and lifestyle that support Scriptural principles and our Statement of Faith.

In addition, we ask that at least one parent is active in a local church that teaches in agreement with our Statement of Faith. An Active Community Involvement Form filled out by a pastor or church leader is required as part of the application process.
