Entrance Requirements

Who Should Apply?
Applicants to Faith Builders should evidence Christian character and commitment, a commitment to family and church, some potential for effectiveness in Christian ministry, and the academic achievement and ability necessary for assignments. The purpose of these requirements is not to exclude potential apprentices but to ensure that students will succeed. Prospective students should call or write the admissions staff at Faith Builders to discuss plans, goals, and questions.

Criteria

The primary criteria for student selection include the following:

1. Spiritual Condition: Of primary concern to the school is the spiritual and emotional condition of students. We are fully committed to the preparation of the whole person. In order to accomplish our goals, students must 1) express a desire to follow Christ in discipleship and service, 2) be willing to be discipled, and 3) express a commitment to uphold the standards of the school.
2. The applicant should be at least eighteen years of age when studies at FB begin.
3. Relationship with home church and parents: We are also concerned that apprentices maintain contact with their home church and parents. Apprentices must be church members in good standing. We need a commitment from a student’s home and church to stay in contact with the student on a regular basis while the student is at Faith Builders.
4. Academic achievement and ability: In order to demonstrate the ability to meet the academic requirements of Faith Builders a student must have:
   • A 2.0-grade-point average from any high-school or post-secondary institution.
   • Graduation from an accepted secondary school, certificate of High School equivalency (e.g., home-school), or a G.E.D. certificate. NOTE: We strongly recommend a college-preparatory high school curriculum that includes 4 units of English, 3 units of math, 3 units of science, 3 units of history, and 2 or more units of a foreign language.
   • A minimum combined Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score of 1000.
   • Students who do not meet these standards may be interested in applying to Faith Builders Christian School to complete their high school work

Considerations

Other considerations in the enrollment process:

1. Doctrine: An applicant will not be admitted who denies or is unwilling to receive instruction about any teaching in the doctrinal statement.
2. Lifestyle: Faith Builders reserves the right to deny or revoke the admission of any candidate whose behavior or lifestyle is inconsistent with the doctrinal statement, biblical principles, or standards of the FB community.
3. Race, nationality, ethnic origin, gender, and disability are not factors in the selection process.
4. Relationships: Engaged or married applicants are welcome. The spouse or fiancée of an applicant should be involved in and supportive of any decision to seek admission to FB.
