Students are expected to be a positive influence in the Holy Cross Lutheran Academy family and community through their words and actions and to wholeheartedly participate in their academic programs. We will admit students who we feel have the potential and desire to be successful and therefore we reserve the right to examine records from previous schools and test the student for grade placement before admission. We have the student’s best interest in mind, so it is important we determine if our school is a good fit for your child. Each child is admitted on a conditional basis until the principal and classroom teacher have a chance to observe the child’s academic achievement and behavior.

Partnership Agreement

Central Florida Cross Network is committed to the spiritual welfare and education of the children enrolled in Holy Cross Lutheran Academy

We view our relationship with you and your child(ren) as a partnership.  Working together we strive to help each child develop his or her potential mentally, physically, and spiritually. 

As with any partnership, to be successful, it requires that we each fulfill our respective roles and responsibilities. 

Therefore, Central Florida Cross Network, Board of Directors, Administration and Staff pledge – with God’s help to:

• Offer a safe, loving atmosphere for teaching God’s Word and nurturing a faith in Christ
• Work closely with the home to properly educate each child
• Provide a Christian-based curriculum of academic excellence while fostering a love for and appreciation of God
• Provide quality and caring Christian teachers and support staff
• Encourage parents to be faithful in following the guidelines listed below

Because Christian education includes the teaching a child receives at school, at church, and most importantly, at home, we encourage you to fulfill the following responsibilities:

• Be regular in worship and Bible class attendance
• Pray for CFLCN and its educational programs
• Support the efforts of the faculty by providing trust and respect for the teacher’s authority
• Support school-sponsored activities and programs with your family’s attendance
• Encourage your child(ren) to take responsibility for their actions and efforts
• Fulfill your financial commitment to the school in a timely manner.  Payments are due the 1^st or 15th of each month (determined by your tuition/draft set up).
• Pray regularly for God’s guidance to aid our school and us in this Kingdom’s work

 Together, we can fulfill our mission to “meet the needs of the community and grow the faith of all who believe.”
