Families begin by submitting an inquiry form (or registering for an admissions event) to gain access to Heritage Christian School’s Admissions Portal, where they complete an application checklist and pay a $75 non-refundable application fee before the application is reviewed. Key dates: for early decision, applications (and all checklist items) are due November 1; assessments/interviews are scheduled through December 12; decisions are communicated by December 15; and enrollment is offered February 15–25 (new families typically have 10 days to complete enrollment). Regular decision applications submitted after November 1 are reviewed on a rolling basis for remaining seats, and accepted students generally have 10 calendar days to enroll; applications are accepted until openings are filled. Requirements include at least one parent/guardian professing faith in Jesus Christ and aligning with the school’s Statement of Faith and core values, plus academic standards (including a minimum 2.5 GPA and testing proficiency); grades 5–12 must submit attendance/discipline reports, grades 7–12 applicants must share their faith story/desire to attend, and students with IEP/504 must upload current documentation and evaluations for review. If enrollment is not offered at the early decision date, a student may be placed in a “waitpool” and later offered a seat as availability opens; if a grade level is full, the school may also offer a wait list, and seats are not held until acceptance and the non-refundable enrollment fee is paid. Priority for available seats is stated as: children of faculty/staff first, then new students from existing HCS families, then families new to HCS.
