Immunizations

Texas state law requires that all children entering school must be current in their immunizations or have an exemption form from the Immunization Branch of the Department of State Health Services. Texas Administrative Code Rule 97.61 (a) states “The vaccine requirements apply to all children and students entering, attending, enrolling in, and/or transferring to child-care facilities or public or private primary or secondary schools or institutions of higher learning.” 

Admissions Policy

Each student will be accepted into our academy based upon the previous academic, spiritual, and social records of the student provided to us, as well as interviews with the student and parents. Gospel Life Christian Academy was founded to meet the educational needs of the average and above-average child. Since the academy does not accept any government subsidies, it is not equipped to handle students with special needs.

Students are accepted on the basis of available space, their character, scholastic record; without regard to race, color, national, or ethnic origin; and a genuine desire on the part of the parents to have their children in a Christian school. Only those children whom we feel will adjust to our particular program and whose parents agree to cooperate fully with the teachers and administration will be admitted.

As a Bible-believing, Christian organization, we affirm and commit to God’s definition of marriage, gender roles, and sexual orientation as given in the Bible. We believe God-given gender roles should be honored, that marriage is a lifetime covenant between a man and a woman, and that all sexual activity outside of a marital commitment is dishonoring to God. Therefore, students involved in fornication (all sexual activity outside of marriage such as immorality, homosexuality, or other morally deviant behavior) will not be accepted as students or permitted to continue as students at GLCA.

Re-Enrollment

During the Spring semester, presently enrolled students may enroll for the fall term on a first-come, first-serve basis. Parents may re-enroll once the enrollment period has begun.

Age Requirements

Our requirement is that a student entering K5, must turn five years old no later than September 1 in the year entering school. A student must be 4 no later than September 1 in the entering school year to attend K4. A certified birth certificate may be required at the time of registration.
