Application Process

Each February, enrollment for the following academic year is opened to new and current families. Zion reserves the right to admit or to dismiss students based on its own criteria of spiritual commitment, academic performance and personal qualifications including a willingness to cooperate with the School Administration and to abide by its policies and regulations. Important: There are no guarantees of placement, expressed or implied, by Zion

The enrollment procedures for new students are as follows:

  1. A personal family tour/interview is required for new applicants. Both parents and all student applicants are requested to be present. A family interview must be completed before a student is considered for admission. After completing the family interview, the enrollment package is given to interested families.
  2. Enrollment forms and the required non-refundable New Family Fee need to be returned to the school office in order for the enrollment process to begin. Each new applicant in Grades 1-8 is required to include with Enrollment materials a copy of his/her most recent report card and standardized test results (if applicable). New applicants are required to submit copies of their birth certificates with their applications. Official school records will be requested from the last school attended. Both parents or legal guardians must sign all forms, if at all possible. Incomplete forms will not be accepted.
  3. Students must have a current immunization certificate (CIS) submitted to the School Office (as required by Washington State law).
  4. To be eligible to attend the Just-for-3s class, students must be three (3) years of age on or before September 1 of that school year. Beginning at this grade level, the child must be able to take care of his or her own toilet needs.
  5. To be able to enter Preschool or Kinder-Ready classes, students should be four (4) years of age before September 1 of that school year.
  6. To be eligible to enter Kindergarten, students should be five (5) years of age before September 1 of that school year. Any exceptions or other considerations are on a case-by case basis.
