Bracken Christian School offers a quality academic environment for its students. Therefore, each candidate must be achieving at or above national grade level in order to be eligible for admission.  In addition, Bracken Christian is a non-denominational, evangelical school with a strong commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  The child and family must demonstrate a desire to receive an education that is built upon this openly evangelical Christian perspective that asserts the lordship of Christ in everyday living and the authority of scripture to establish moral guidelines for righteous living.  It is expected that at least one parent of the prospective student be a born again Christian and support our Mission Statement and the school's Statement of Faith.

The admission process at Bracken Christian School is designed to ensure a successful experience for the students, parents, and teachers.  A combination of testing, recommendations, transcripts, and personal interviews are used to evaluate each candidate for admission. Admission files must be complete before any candidate can be evaluated and interviewed by the respective principal.  We begin accepting applications for the following year on March 5th.
