Each student's application is carefully considered by the administration. Admissions decisions consider the student’s potential for success at HCS and the parents' desire for a Christ-centered education for their children.

All applications will be reviewed and assessments will be offered to applicants that meet all necessary criteria. Assessment times will be offered through the application checklist. Interviews may be requested prior to next steps. If enrollment is not offered at the early decision date a student may be added to the waitpool. Students from the waitpool may be offered an opportunity to enroll as seats become available.

If your student has an IEP/504 their application will also be reviewed by our ESS department to determine if we have the programs available to best support your student's success. Parents are required to submit the testing results or other evaluation documentation needed for the review. Please allow additional time for this step in the review process.

Early admissions decisions will be communicated by December 15. Current families with new students will enroll between February 15 and February 25. New families to HCS will receive an offer to enroll between February 15 and February 25, and will have 10 days to complete enrollment.

All applications submitted after November 1 (regular decision timeline) will be considered for any remaining seats and provided decisions on a rolling basis. Applicants who are accepted will have 10 calendar days to enroll.

During your enrollment window, you may reserve your spot by paying your non-refundable enrollment fee online through the link provided by admissions at the time of acceptance.
