Application Review & Admissions Decision
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. Please allow additional time for this step in the review process.
