Application Process

We seek to determine if there is a match between the mission and philosophy of ALCS and what a family is looking for in a Christian education. We encourage families to take a virtual tour of our facilities. We offer a Virtual Tour, or in-person tour scheduled between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Contact our admissions staff by phone (608-221-1520) or email (admissions@alcs.us) to have your specific questions answered.

Download our Admissions Application and submit it to admissions@alcs.us. 

• Documents may be scanned (preferred) or photographed and sent by email.
• Documents may also be faxed to 608-480-8296.
• Documents may be dropped off or mailed to our office: 4901 E. Buckeye Rd, Madison, WI 53716.

Please include your student's latest academic record.

• Report Card (entering 1-9th grade)
• Transcript (entering 10-12th grade)
• *IEP or *504 Plans (if applicable) must be included for us to review your student's application
  • ALCS does not have a special education program. We will review a student's academic needs to determine if they can be served successfully at ALCS. 
    Please Note:  We are not equipped for one-to-one assistance, OT, or PT needs.
• Registration fees are non-refundable if a seat is offered and declined.
  • If it's determined that we are not equipped to serve a student in the grade for which they've applied, registration fees will be refunded.
  • Families who pay registration fees to hold a seat and are later chosen to receive a WI Parental Choice Voucher will have their fees moved into their general account for use on things such as lunch fees or sports fees.

ALCS offers Variable Tuition to our families. Find out more about Variable Tuition here!

You may submit an application along with your tax information (the first two pages of your 1040 federal tax return from 2025) if you would like to see if you qualify for tuition assistance. 

Applications may be emailed to admissions@alcs.us, faxed to 608-480-8296, or dropped off during business hours.

For students who have applied, assessed, and interviewed for 1st - 12th grade, we have an optional shadow day opportunity. During this pre-arranged visit, your student has the opportunity to experience ALCS for a morning. Shadow days are scheduled on either Tuesday or Thursday mornings, based on availability.  

To achieve the best possible grade placement and allow for optimal success within the school, all students participate in an assessment and/or a student interview.

• Students entering 6th - 12th grades will complete an assessment and participate in a family interview with the principal.
• Students entering KG - 5th grades will complete a student assessment to assess what the student already knows in the areas of language arts and mathematics.
• All students entering grades 1st - 9th grades will need to provide their most recent report card, and students entering grades 10th - 12th grades must provide their most recent transcript as part of the admissions process. 

Admissions applications and academic records must be received before an interview is scheduled.

An admissions decision will be made based on:

• Admissions Application
• Academic Records (Report Card or Transcript)
• Family Interview (grades 6-12) or Student Assessment (grades K-12)

Once a seat has been offered, the registration fee must be paid within one (1) calendar week or the seat may be offered to another student on our list. 

Final tuition schedules will be issued after enrollment early-mid June, and families will be invited to set up their financial accounts and a tuition plan in our Family Portal.

Thank you for your interest in partnering with ALCS to train and educate your child!
