Admissions Process
Students applying will be selected through a process that may include a review of previous school performance, teacher recommendations, admissions testing, and a successful parent/guardian and student interview with the principal. If previous school records do not provide a clear assessment of the student’s ability to be successful at Heritage Christian Academy, the school may require additional testing. Applications are not considered complete until ALL forms have been received. Admission to and continued enrollment in Heritage Christian Academy is at the sole discretion of the school. Heritage Christian Academy admits students of any race, color, nationality or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
