Admissions Standards

Enrollment at Immanuel Christian Schools is dependent on Society for Christian Education in Southern Alberta membership. New applicants are required to complete the Admissions Package and submit it to the Society Office in person or via email. 

The Society for Christian Education believes the school is an extension of the Christian home, and as a Christian school, our goal is to glorify Jesus Christ in all areas. We feel that the home, church, and school need to work together as a team. Therefore, at Immanuel Christian Schools, we require at least one parent to be a professing Christian who regularly attends a Christian church.​

Parents/guardians of applying students must verify active participation in a Christian church (Spiritual Life Form and Pastor's Form, included in the Admissions Package), support the Mission, Philosophy and Statement of Faith at Immanuel Christian Schools, and participate in an admissions interview with Society representatives before enrollment is guaranteed.

Society Membership Information

Christian Education

Immanuel Christian Elementary School and Immanuel Christian Secondary School are parent-run Christian schools. The financial resources needed to maintain our schools must come from parents and a supportive Christian community. Christian education requires a significant financial sacrifice on the part of every family.

We are responding obediently to God who has given us the ultimate responsibility for training our children. Furthermore, we believe that God will enable us to meet our obligations and supply our needs.

Community

One of the ways God has worked His plan at His schools is through the concept of community. Our schools enjoy support from the broader Christian community in addition to parent support. We are a Christian community that supports the school even after our children have graduated, so we can be of help to other families needing assistance. Society supporters are encouraged to give according to how they have been blessed.

Current Membership Fees

All families enrolling a child or children at Immanuel Christian Schools will be required to pay the Society for Christian Education in Southern Alberta's Membership Fee of $250.00 per year. The membership fee is required once every year by each family that has children enrolled at Immanuel Christian Schools. Society membership is available to non-parent school supporters as well - please call the Society office for more information. Society membership comes with voting privileges at the Fall and Spring Society Meetings.

Let's break it down some more:

  • If you are enrolling your oldest child in Early Education, you will pay the school fees, registration fee of $40 (required by Lethbridge School Division Policy), plus the $250.00 Society Membership.
  • If you are enrolling your oldest child in Kindergarten, you will only pay the $250.00 Society Membership (no school fee for Kindergarten for 2020-2021).
  • If you are enrolling your child or children in Grades 1-12, the Society Membership is built into the school fee of $4,000 per year.
