GCA Admission Procedures

REGISTRATION

General enrollment information: Enrollment information for each upcoming school year is available on our website. Online registration begins in May.  New families must first submit an application and await approval before registering for classes. A new applicant fee per student will be incurred. There is a non-refundable enrollment fee for each class which will be applied upon completion of registration. Click here for a list of our fees:  GCA's Tuition & Fees.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • When choosing your child's grade level during the application process, scroll in the drop-down menu until you find the grade levels that begin with GC (for example GC-01 for a first grader).
  • The new student fee may be mailed to OR dropped off at Red Lion Christian Academy (1390 Red Lion Road, Bear, DE). Instructions will be provided during the New Family Interview.  Note: GCA's Thursday classes meet at Ogletown Baptist Church (316 Red Mill Road, Newark, Delaware).
  • Students transferring from Red Lion Christian Academy do not need to submit a new student application. E-mail us so we can make an internal transfer.

NEW Families: Online Application and Enrollment Process

CLICK HERE TO START THE APPLICATION PROCESS.

  • Submit an application for each new student. 
  • Attend the New Family Interview. Once the completed application and all required documentation have been received by the GCA Admissions Office, the family will be contacted to schedule an interview. Most interviews are conducted virtually. 
  • Upon acceptance, you will receive an email confirmation containing enrollment instructions.
  • Complete enrollment process in your Family Portal: request classes, set up a payment plan in FACTS, and complete all paperwork.  Refer to the Schedule Grid and Course Catalog for class selections.

Payment plans: Tuition is processed through the FACTS payment processing website. During the online enrollment process, families will be directed to the FACTS website. All enrollment fees, tuition, and incidental payments will be handled through FACTS; therefore, enrollment will not be finalized without setting up and selecting a tuition payment plan. Using the FACTS system allows families the flexibility to choose one of several tuition payment plans. An annual FACTS fee will be incurred. All class enrollment fees are non-refundable and will be due immediately upon registration (processed within ten business days) through FACTS. RLCA at Glasgow and Umbrella School registration fees will be included in your payment plan.

This confirmation will not be received immediately as the completed enrollment for each student in the family must be processed before fees are applied in FACTS (could take up to 15 business days).

Glasgow Christian Academy, the homeschool division of Red Lion Christian Academy, does not discriminate in the admission of its students on the basis of religious beliefs. GCA admits students of families who support Christian values representing any race or ethnic origin and from any geographical area to the school with all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

Glasgow Christian Academy reserves the right to decline admission to a student if we feel that the school is unable to adequately provide for the student's special needs and believe that the student would be better off at another educational institution.
