GRADE PLACEMENT
-
Kindergarten screening is offered to help assess a school placement that will help children achieve their best combination of personal happiness, academic progress, and the use of God-given abilities.
-
Children learn best if they are at a level suitable to them. They must be motivated and challenged, but not frustrated. For this reason, we do not move children from grade to grade regardless of their progress and learning capacity.
-
Every student new to Champlain Valley Christian School will be placed at his/her appropriate grade level after being assessed by qualified CVCS faculty members. This screening will take place after the following two steps have taken place:
1. The Board has reviewed the prospective family’s application.
2. The Board has interviewed and accepted the prospective family based on matters other than academics.
3. After the academic screening has been completed, the faculty will make recommendation to the Board for student placement based on the screening results, prior academic records, and other pertinent documentation. The Board will communicate the final decision for correct placement to the parents.
