Our school year runs from the last Monday in August 2011 - early June 2012. The
first pupil day of school will be August 30, 2010. Applications for the coming school
year are now due. Applications must include completed doctor's assessment,
immunization record, and emergency contact forms, agreement to accept
specific standards, i.e., Attendance, Student Pick-up, Financial Responsibility,
and other important forms.
Parents should not wait until the last minute to enroll their child wherever he or
she will attend during the next term. All necessary forms are available here and
may be collected in hard copy at the school by appointment, or may be e-mailed
to you upon request.
Regular student enrollment requires the payment of the first and tenth tuition
installments ($700.00). Other arrangements may not be presumed, but will only
be possible after request, schedule of payments, and agreement to be
responsible for late payment fee(s).
The school accepts some students through the State of Delaware's Division of
Social Services Purchase of Care Program. Please check with the school and the
family POC (Purchase of Care) case worker.
The First Pupil Day for the 2011 -2012 School Year Will Be Monday, August 29, 2011.
Enrolling a student in Faith Elementary and Middle School is simple and easy once you have made the determination that you are convinced that your child can likely grow scholastically and in character at FEMS. We are interested in serious parents who know they can afford being a Faith Parent, or parents who are aware of what it takes to have and keep a student enrolled at Faith, and are willing to accept the responsibility to meet their obligations on a timely basis by sacrifice. As much as we are dedicated to offering our students our very best, it must be very clear to each parent that we cannot accept or maintain in our enrollment any student who is likely to become a ward of the school because the parent cannot or will not regularly meet his or her financial and support commitments to the school. To this extent, we are only able and willing to accept and keep students whose parents hold their child's matriculation at Faith as a high priority.
We regret that we do not have student scholarships to offer. It will not do for a parent to deliver us a student and decide that the school will train the student despite the parent's inattention to their financial promise or as they offer one excuse or the other for non-payment, or make promises that will never be honored. This is no longer the school; this is also not the time. Parents who are honest, and who accept that the school depends on EACH parent to be as faithful to the school as we will be to their child are welcome to inquire on. Others should find another program to meet their child's need. In the past, often our compassion for those who said they needed our services but were not faithful in keeping their contractual commitments have endangered our ability to serve students whose parents were faithful, supportive, and dependable. Those days are gone. Should God ever bless us with resources to offer services to students from needy families, we will be more than willing to announce and develop a financial aide program. Our concern is to serve any student needing our services; nevertheless, the reality of our situation is that we may serve only students whom someone or some entity is faithfully funding and supporting to make matriculation in the school possible. If the foregoing did not offend or discourage you, we welcome you to register.
