Admission Policy
Seventh-day Adventist Schools are opened to all young people of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and others who come for the purpose of doing earnest, faithful work, and who have a desire to develop Christian characters.
It is the official policy of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, in all its church-operated schools, on elementary, secondary, and higher education levels in the United States to admit students of any race to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded, or made available to students at its schools, and to make no discrimination on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic background, country of origin, or gender in the administration of education policies, applications for admission, scholarship or loan programs, as well as athletic and extracurricular programs. At the present time our school does not offer a specialized special education program; therefore, we are unable to accept pupils who have serious scholastic or behavioral problems or who are mentally or physically challenged.
“The true object of education is to fit men and women for service by developing and bringing into active exercise all of their faculties.” CPTS., p. 493. Day by day we are building the character of our students spiritually, physically, mentally, and socially for time and eternity. It is imperative that all parents have a strong desire to educate their children in a Christian school and a willingness to abide by the policies and principles of the school.

The MOSJA Admissions Committee reviews each student’s application. For new students, the Admissions Committee reviews records from previous schools, standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, and other pertinent data. All new students are granted admission on a probationary basis. After the first nine weeks, the Academic Committee will then decide whether or not the student will be officially accepted. This decision will be based on the student’s academic and behavioral progress reports. Students are expected to follow the behavior guidelines and regulations of the school. The Academic Committee, upon approval from the School Board, has the right to dismiss the student if their academic progress and behavior reveals that they are not the best fit for this institution.
After applications have been duly processed, applicants will be notified about their application status by this committee.
Applicants for kindergarten should be five years old by September 1st of the current school year and applicants for first grade should be six by September 1st of the current year.
