The application process at ROOTS focuses on understanding the individual. We will work closely with each individual throughout the application process. We hope that the school would be a foundation in Christian principles and practice, as each student learns in the classroom, then takes that knowledge and applies it to a real-life context. While study will definitely be a part of the program, we are looking for individuals who possess a passion for God and passion to serve. We seek students who want to grow spiritually through study and application. We will carefully and prayerfully consider your application, essays, interviews, and recommendations while making our decision.
