Prior to students being accepted to Christian School of York, one of the top private day schools in Central PA, at least one parent must be able to provide a clear testimony that he or she is born again and understand what it means to live out a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Parents must be in agreement with our Basis of Faith and our Parents’ Pledge statements that our students will be taught the fundamentals of living their lives as born-again Christians.  The student's family should already be active in a local church or be seeking a new church to attend regularly. Parents will be asked to commit to an understanding that educating a child requires a strong foundation in the areas of the Home, Church, and School.

Entrance Testing 

​

During the application process, students entering Kindergarten through 12th grade may need to take an entrance test as part of the admissions process at Christian School of York.  Students entering the Christian School of York Preschool do not require entrance testing.

Additionally, students coming to Christian School of York from educational settings where standardized testing is completed annually may not require entrance testing.  Accepted forms of standardized testing include but are not limited to, the PSSA, the Terra Nova, and the Stanford Achievement Test.

Entrance testing encompasses three main areas—reading, writing, and math.

 

 

Family Interviews

 

An interview will be held with each student's family who has completed the application and submitted all of the required paperwork for admission.  The interview should be attended by the parents, guardians, and students (6th – 12th only). This time together will provide the opportunity to confirm that your family shares the same vision and mission as Christian School of York. It also gives the parents the opportunity to ask final questions to confirm that CSY is the right fit for your family.

Student Interview (6th through 12th grades only)

As part of the family interview, students entering 6th – 12th grade will also meet with the Upper School Principal.  A thorough understanding of a student’s strengths and weaknesses will help provide a smooth transition and successful educational experience here at CSY.
