Please download the current 2024-25 NACS Handbook (pending Board approval) for review:
Application:
All prospective students must fill out an application and turn it in at the school. After an initial review of the application by the school board, the applicant and his/her parent(s) or guardian(s) will be requested to come before the principal and board for a personal interview. An application form may be obtained by calling the school at 760-326-4406.
Kindergarten:
A student will be accepted for Kindergarten only if he/she has reached the age of 5 years by September 1st of the year for which application is made. Proof of age (copy of birth certificate) is required of all students entering Kindergarten. (ED Code 2120).
Transfer Student:
Students transferring to this school from other school systems may be place at the level indicated by an achievement test administered during the early part of the school year. In this way, each child can be assured of success at his / her own level of ability. Promotions from level to level are based on scholastic achievement and the child’s maturity.
Special Education:
Since non-public schools are not mandated or equipped to provide Special Education, the Needles Adventist Christian School retains the right to determine if it is able to meet the individual needs of an applicant. If it is determined that the student cannot be served adequately by the school, then recommendations for alternative educational placement will be made, and/or the student may be asked to withdraw at any time.
