High School AES

Thank you for your interest in DCS Athletics. AES student-athletes will need to be approved for participation by the DCS athletic department prior to participating in tryouts or practices.

AES acceptance at Dominion Christian School is not only based on availability, but the joint admission decision between the Admissions Committee and Head Coach. Participation within each team is not guaranteed, but at the discretion of the Head Coach of each sport.

AES Reenrollment is not guaranteed, but based on:

  • conduct and attendance during the previous school year
  • availability on requested team
  • space within requested class

High school AES will be required to:

  1. Provide a transcript of all course completed in high school each semester.
  2. Students must be enrolled in five unit subjects for the semester. Of the five unit subjects, Three MUST be in the following areas: English, Foreign Language, Science, History, Math, or Bible. The exception is spring of their senior year, they are required to be enrolled in at least 4 subjects the semester of participation.
  3. Students must pass five classes each semester.
  4. Provide proof of completing a standardized test at the end of their 9th grade year.
  5. Be enrolled in a class at DCS if trying out for a high school team.

Regarding Class Enrollment

Our high school sports teams compete in the Georgia Independent Athletic Association (GIAA). One of the requirements of the GIAA is that all our Alternatively Educated Students (AES), also known as homeschool students, who participate in a high school sport must take at least one class with DCS during their semester of participation.

Each student will need to take an elective as their class of choice. That class will be during our 7th period class (1:45-2:30) and will take place right before the practice of the participating sport of choice. Students must complete the semester to get credit for the class and to be able to participate in sports the following year.

The cost of this class will be $700 per semester, or $1000 for both semesters. It is required that all AES students take this class in the semester (s) of sport participation if they want to compete on one of the DCS high school sports teams that participates in the GIAA.

Please review the AES approval process. If you would like to proceed with this process and are willing to meet the requirements, please complete the AES Athlete Application, along with your student. A $40 application fee will be collected at the end of the application.
