Guidelines for Accepting Students

-All new students are enrolled for a 90-day probationary period; however, the administration may extend the period up to 6 months.

-As a rule, students above the sixth grade who do not personally want to attend COTRCA will not be accepted.

-COTRCA is a school, not a reformatory or school for problem children.

-Students are accepted in the order of the date of receipt of their School Application.

-Each student history is reviewed by the administration individually but, as a rule, a student is not admitted if he/she:

1. Has been arrested

4. Has been dismissed or expelled from another educational institution.
5. Has had an abortion or baby out of wedlock.

-Entrance is not based on IQ, achievements, or ability. Underachievers are welcomed unless it is evident they will be a social or moral liability to other students.

-Willingness on the student's part to conform to the Uniform Code, to remain in a church school setting, and to cooperate with the moral and spiritual values offered in such a setting.
