Admissions Process

Thank you for your interest in Pella Christian Schools.

We partner with families seeking a Christ-centered education, where students are educated and nurtured to discover their individual, God-given gifts to serve in His kingdom.

Our goal is to maintain optimal class size in each grade level, and our admission/enrollment process helps to achieve this goal. Students may be placed in a wait pool during the admission/enrollment process. We prayerfully hope these students will be able to join our school family when a spot becomes available. 

In order for your student to be considered for enrollment, NEW families/students should follow this process:

Complete an Inquiry

Tell us more about your student and family by completing an Inquiry Form. Our Admissions office will follow up with you to answer your questions.

Complete the inquiry form here.

Tour Pella Christian
