Join the ACA Family
We’re so glad you’re considering Altus Christian Academy for your family. Let us show you what makes our community special.
Welcome from Admissions
Welcome to Altus Christian Academy!
At ACA, our mission is to provide a Christ-centered, kingdom education where each child is known, nurtured, and encouraged to use their God-given gifts to impact the world around them.
What makes ACA special is our commitment to educating the whole child through small class sizes, strong academics, and unique programs that support spiritual, academic, and personal growth.
As part of a military family myself, I understand the unique challenges that can come with starting a new school. It is my goal to make the admissions process as simple and genuine as possible while walking alongside your family every step of the way.
We invite you to come see what makes ACA a special place to learn, serve, and grow in Christ!

- ACA may accept a student with special needs if the school’s program can sufficiently meet those needs. School officials will make this determination.
- Students must be up-to-date on immunizations and will be required to have a current immunization record on file. If exempt for medical or religious reasons, the student must have the appropriate form on file. Students not current on immunizations must be brought up-to-date as soon as possible and within the first 9 weeks of the school term. Students not in compliance may be asked to stay home from school until properly immunized.
- Each student must have a copy of his or her certified birth certificate on file.

Bona fide evidence of the need for exception must be presented and would be considered in light of the school’s ability and responsibility to meet the needs of the student.
- Parents must sign a Parent Covenant.
- As per the Military Interstate Children’s Compact, parents of military dependent children may hand carry records to Altus Christian Academy. If a student meets school admissions requirements, ACA will place the student in the grade in which the child was enrolled in his or her previous school, regardless of age, pending receipt of official records. ACA reserves the right to do subsequent testing to ensure appropriate placement. Any missing immunizations should be made up within 30 calendar days of enrollment, or for a series, the initial immunization should be received within 30 calendar days. Special power of attorney or a relative with guardianship may enroll the child at ACA.

Tuition & Financial Information
We believe Christian education should be accessible to all families called to ACA.
For detailed tuition information, financial aid, and scholarship information, please contact our Admissions office.

ACA utilizes a financial aid service offered by FACTS.
The parents’ financial information is analyzed and a report on what a family could reasonably be expected to pay based on their income and expenses is sent to ACA. This is a well-researched, objective means of determining financial need and greatly helps in awarding tuition waivers. Interested families can contact our school to request the application link. The FACTS reports are for informational purposes only and are not binding. Financial aid awards are made on the understanding that the family makes the maximum financial commitment possible to the child’s education expenses.
Financial aid applications must be submitted each year. Changes in family financial status could result in an increase or decrease in funding in subsequent years. In the case of divorced parents, the school expects each natural parent and their spouse(s), if any, to complete the financial information. Extenuating circumstances can be noted through the application.
To maintain financial aid eligibility, students must have passing grades and follow school policies and procedures. All accounts must be in good standing as well.

Altus Christian Academy does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or disability in administration of its educational and admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
