Admissions

Admissions Policy

Students seeking admission to UCA must meet the following requirements:

1. One parent or guardian of the student(s) must be a disciple of Christ and maintain an active role in their home church. Other cases will be dealt with on an individual basis subject to board approval.

​2. Students and parents are expected to be in harmony with the purpose, statement of faith, and handbook policies as held by UCA.

Due to the high-demand for Christian Education, Upward Christian Academy has limited seats available for the 2024-2025 school year. In an effort to best fulfill the goal outlined in our Vision statement, our core Anabaptist constituents from our supporting Anabaptist churches will receive priority consideration for available seats. However, we encourage all interested families to apply. We will consider other applications on a case by case if we have remaining seats.

Non-Discrimination Notice

​Upward Christian Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
