There is no assessment necessary for TK unless recommended by PCS.
The TK program traditionally enrolls children whose fifth birthday falls between September 2 and April 2nd in the upcoming school year. Additionally, students with summer birthdays can be considered who would benefit from an additional year of developmental growth.

Kindergarten applicants will be given a developmental readiness test/screening. The screening will help us to discover the child’s readiness level both developmentally and socially.
Social/emotional readiness is a valued criterion for admission.
If the results of the kindergarten testing indicate that your child would benefit from a bonus year, your child may be recommended for the TK program. In this case, he/she will be expected to progress to Kindergarten in 2025-2026 with no further testing.

An abbreviated SAT test is administered by PCS faculty.
Each student must achieve at, or preferably above, national grade level in order to be eligible for admission.
Students must also possess the age appropriate social skills and behaviors needed for them to be successful in our program.

After an application is submitted, parents of preschoolers will either receive directions for enrollment.

A combination of test results, teacher observation, teacher recommendations, report cards, and report card comments are used to evaluate each candidate for admission.
The admissions committee then makes the final recommendation to the Head of School for admission.
An offer of enrollment will be made if recommended by the Head of School and Admissions Committee.
Parents will be notified of the admissions via email or by mail.

Pasadena Christian School admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.
