AJA admits students of any race, color, nationality or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available to the students at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality or ethnic origin in administration of its admissions policy, educational programs, scholarships, student aid, and any other school program. AJA is open to all boys and girls who wish to do earnest and faithful work and who desire to develop a Christian character. AJA is not limited to the children of Seventh-day Adventist parents, but is selective. AJA is not equipped to accommodate students who have severe behavioral problems, nor does it have a remedial staff that can meet the needs of a student with emotional or severe learning disabilities. |
AJA reserves the right to place a student in the grade at which he can achieve his best work. This is done with the teacher’s recommendation, placement tests, and consultations with the parents. No child will be admitted in grade one who has not passed his sixth birthday by September 1st. Attendance at AJA is a privilege and not a right. AJA reserves the right to refuse admittance to and to dismiss any student in order to safeguard the scholastic, spiritual, and moral atmosphere of the school. |

TuitionTuition from families covers only a portion of the total expenses involved in educating children. The balance of needed operating income must come from the church and from donations by other interested parties. These sources of income benefit all our families and keep tuition costs down.
Tuition is payable annually, by semester, or monthly. Tuition paid in full by August 5 of the current school year is given a 5% pre-payment discount. Those paying by the semester will receive a 2% discount. Payment is due on or before August 5, 2009, and January 5, 2010. Monthly payments can be made on a 12 months option beginning July 1 of current school year or 10 months option beginning August 1 of current school year. Monthly payments are to be made on or before the 5th of each month. Special arrangements are to be made with the school treasurer if payments will be late. If payment is not received by the 5th of the month, a 10% late fee may apply. Special consideration has been granted to parents with more than one student enrolled in school. Families paying full tuition will be required to pay the full amount for the first child. Tuition for each additional child in the same family will be discounted $15.00 monthly, or $150.00 per school year, for those families on a 10-month payment schedule and $12.00 monthly, or $144.00 per school year, for those families on a 12-month payment schedule. Please see the Student Handbook (page 9) for a complete list of tuition costs and schedules. |

Why a Dress Code?“In dress as in all things else, it is our privilege to honor our Creator. He desires our clothing to be not only neat and healthful but also appropriate and becoming. A person’s character is judged by his style of dress. A refined taste, a cultivated mind, will be revealed in the choice of simple and appropriate attire.” —Education chapter on Dress “I also want women [and men] to dress modestly with decency and propriety, not with gold or pearls or expensive clothes.” — 1 Tim. 2:9 |
Our students are serving as witnesses for our Jesus and for our school. Students will dress neatly, cleanly, and modestly. No education can be complete that does not teach right principles in regard to dress. Students attending AJA are expected to dress in a way to demonstrate respect for their school. Students should dress as if they are coming to work, to do the work of an AJA student. They should present themselves well each day. Please see the Student Handbook (pages 17-19) for a complete list of acceptable and non-acceptable clothing. Good sites for clothing: Lands' End, Marcus Uniforms, French Toast, JC Penney, and Cookie's

Students attending AJA are expected to dress modestly and attractively. It is the parent’s or
guardian’s responsibility to make sure that the student is dressed properly for school.
The dress code will be in effect all school days on the school campus, on a school activity, on
Saturday night school functions, and when representing the school off-campus.
Attendance PolicyRegular and prompt attendance is required of every pupil. The only valid excuse for absence is sickness of the student, death in the family, or an extreme emergency. On the day of return, a written excuse signed by the parent of guardian is to be presented by the student. Parents should not expect teachers to assist pupils in making up work due to an absence that does not have a valid excuse. No student is permitted to leave the school grounds during the day without permission of the teacher, the principal, and the consent of the parent. |
Repeated AbsencesStudents who have a pattern of inexcusable absences or repeated tardiness will be referred to the School Board and will be subject to disciplinary action. |
Universal Parent Involvement (UPI) ProgramThe school is part of the body of Christ, and the body of Christ will only function well when all members give of their gifts. While your financial support is important, giving of your time and talent is also necessary to meet the needs of the school. The Universal Parent Involvement (UPI) program requires each family to make an annual commitment of either 20 hours of service to the school or a $200 UPI buy-out or a combination of both. At the start of each school year, you will receive a UPI packet, which lists the many ways you can meet your UPI requirement throughout the school year. Although we call this a mandatory obligation, it is really an opportunity to become closer to this wonderful place which God has provided for our children. |
