    Wakulla Christian is a small private school that accepts students 3K through 12th grade. Current families and their siblings re-enrolled in the month of February. From this data we were able to determine the number of students we can accept for the {schoolyear} school year.

    Below is a list of each grade and next to it a note regarding availability.  As you can see several grades are already full due to space limitations.  If a grade is full and you would like to be contacted should an opening occur prior to school starting in August please provide us with your contact information by selecting that option below.

    It’s important to note that it is a very rare occurrence to have spaces open up, but on occasion it does happen which allows us to accept new applicants and reach out to those who filled out their contact information.  This is not a waiting list, it is a call back list.

    WCS seeks to accept students of families who are active members of a local Bible believing church, who can faithfully sign our Statement of faith, and abide by the school guidelines and philosophy.  In addition to Biblical values, WCS takes the time to interview each student and their parents.  Administration also considers a student’s school discipline record and transcripts, including test scores and attendance records.  Parents may begin the evaluation process by submitting this evaluation application along with the required fees and other documentation as noted within this application.

    A Non-Refundable Entry Application Fee of $50.00* per student is required at the time of submission of this evaluation application.

    * NOTE:  VPK students are not required to pay an Application Fee.

     

    This evaluation application MUST be filled out online for each student individually.
    Paper applications are not accepted.

    Please ensure the browser you are using is current and updated.

    This application should be completed using a computer for the best user experience.

    Please understand, if a grade is "available" and someone else submits while you are filling out the form your form may be rejected as that space will have been taken.

    • 3K Applicants

    • Thank you for applying to our 3K program.  WCS is honored that our community has always responded so well to our program over the years.

      WCS only has a Full-time 3K Program. Students must be 3 years old by July 1, and be completely potty trained. It’s important to understand that WCS is a 3K – 12th grade school and not a day care center. Prior to applying be aware that WCS operates by a school calendar and as such we are closed for all major holidays, one week at Thanksgiving, two weeks at Christmas, and one week during Spring Break. Tuition is the same each month regardless of the holidays observed and there is no holiday care for students when school is closed. However, WCS does offer a summer camp program for 3K-5th grade children.

      Camp is always closed the week of Memorial Day and normally one week before school starts in August. If there are openings we encourage new students to attend summer camp because it will aide with their transition to WCS in the fall.  Please email Audra Revell at (summercamp@wakullachristian.com) if you are interested in summer camp for your 3K student.

       Students applying for the full time 3K program need to do the following:

      Apply online below and pay the $50 non-refundable new student application fee.

      Children must be 3 on or before July 1, and be completely potty trained.  WCS is not a day care center and is unable to train children in this area.  Students can be excused from the school if they enroll and they aren’t completely potty trained.

      Once a student has been accepted at WCS, parents will receive a welcome letter by email. Over the summer you will receive additional information regarding supplies, orientation and various records and paperwork needed for your student’s file from Samantha Whatley in the front office (swhatley@wakullachristian.com).
