APPLICATION TIMELINE 

• Applications are accepted beginning March 1 of the year preceding the year for which application is being made. 

• Open enrollment starts March.

• Interviews are scheduled when all required application materials are received. Applicants must attend the interview along with their parents.

• Current MFCA families re-enroll in January. Admission committees meet in late February. Letters notifying applicants of admission decisions are sent in early March. While MFCA continues to accept applications all year, many classes are full following the first round of acceptances in March. In order to be considered in that group of applicants, all application forms, and the interview should be completed by mid-February.

• If an applicant is qualified to attend Mesquite Friendship Christian Academy but there are no spaces available in his or her grade, the applicant’s name is placed in a wait list. Wait lists are not prioritized lists. When and if an opening becomes available, the Admission Committee convenes and selects the most appropriate candidate for the opening. Openings occur throughout the spring and summer, and new students are added to the grades where openings occur.

• In a desire to keep current families together, Mesquite Friendship Christian Academy gives priority to qualified siblings of current MFCA students

•  A child must be 5 years old by Sept. 1 in order to start Kindergarten. No exceptions. All applicants must be able to care for restroom needs independently.
