Everything you need to know about enrollment
We want the process to be clear, simple, and stress-free. Here is everything families need to know before enrolling your child at Believers Youth Discipleship Academy.
Who can participate
Our programs are open to youth between the ages of 10 and 14, in grades 5 through 8.
We welcome families from all backgrounds. You do not need to be a member of a particular church to participate.
Parents and guardians are an essential part of our community. Our programs work best when families are engaged and supportive at home.
How to enroll
Information families
may need to provide
When you enroll your child, we will ask for some basic information to make sure we can serve your family well. This may include:
Parent or guardian contact information
Emergency contacts
Medical conditions and allergies
Dietary restrictions
Authorized pickup contacts

Any accommodation needs
We collect this information securely and use it only to support your child's safety and participation. We do not share your family's information with outside parties.
