Wait Pool Information
If your child meets all admissions requirements but no seat is currently available, we may offer placement in a Wait Pool.
- If/when a seat becomes available, the most qualified student will be offered admission.
- Sibling Priority: If you already have children enrolled at Hope Christian School, every effort will be made to admit a new sibling—pending space availability.
