6 Steps to Apply

1.  Getting Started

For most families, the application process begins with an introduction to our school.  Whether you heard about us from your friends or family, located us online, or simply drove by our campus, we recommend you begin by completing the Online Inquiry Form.  We will then schedule your own individual tour to learn more about PCA.  You can inquire online and obtain an admissions registration packet in one of the following ways:

• Complete the Online Inquiry Form and request a packet mailed directly to your home
• 2011-2012 Application Packet
• 2012-2013 Application Packet
• Call the Admissions office at 817 460-3315 ext. 1202
• Stop by the school to personally pick up a packet

2.  Submit Application

Your admissions file is opened once we receive your completed application and application fee.  You should turn your completed registration packet into the Registrar’s office.  See the Registration Checklist for a list of all the information that needs to accompany your application.  This step is usually the most important step to enable the admissions process to move quickly.  If you have a need for Tuition Assistance, please read our information on Affording a PCA Education.

3.  Testing

Students applying to PCA are required to take an achievement test for grades 1-12 and a developmental readiness test for Kindergarten.  Our Registrar’s office will call you to set up  the required testing.

4.  Admissions Review Committee

Our Admissions Review Committee will then review your application to ensure that the applicant has a strong chance for success at PCA prior to the final admissions interview.  The review will typically occur within a week following completion of the prior steps.

5.  The Interview

Once the Admissions Review Committee has approved the application we will call you to schedule an interview with the Principal.  Both parents are encouraged to attend the interview along with students in grades 6-12. The family or parent interview is a vital part of our admissions process. The interview provides a time for us to get to know one another more personally and gives you another opportunity to ask questions.

6.  Registration

Once the interview is complete, we will prepare an enrollment contract for your signature and welcome you the PCA Community!
