For most families, the application process begins through an introduction to our school. This may include visiting us at a school fair or open house, calling us to request materials, or scheduling a tour.

All prospective families must complete a formal orientation scheduled through the Admissions Office. At this meeting with the parents or guardians, and preferably the student(s), spiritual, educational, and philosophical expectations will be discussed. A tour of the facility will be given. The orientation will likely last between 60–90 minutes.

After the orientation, both parties should have a good understanding of whether HCS will be a good fit between the family and the school. If the school sees no problem with continuing the process, it is then up to the family to complete an application form and return it to the school.

Our receipt of your completed application and application fee starts your admissions file. We require a letter of recommendation from your pastor or someone who has mentored you spiritually when no pastor is available.

A copy of previous school records or transcripts must be sent to the HCS main office. The application includes opportunities for parents or guardians to give a brief testimony of faith and to read and sign our Commitments and Statement of Faith.

Please complete the admissions inquiry form to obtain application materials, the pastor recommendation form, and tuition rates.

Once the completed application is returned, the student will be set up for testing at the school. We require entrance exam results to help us gauge potential for academic success and to assist with course placement. Tests are approximately one hour in length.

After testing is complete and the Pastor Recommendation Form has been returned by the pastor, a final interview is set between the family and the principal of the oldest-entering child.

At this interview, test results are reviewed and the principal has the opportunity to become better acquainted with the student and the family. During this time, middle and high school students will discuss scheduling of classes.

The principal will also discuss payment options for tuition and fees. A financial contract must be signed in order to complete the admissions process and for the student to be officially enrolled at Heritage.

The entire admissions process can take up to three weeks to complete, and families are encouraged to apply early in the recruiting season. During the school year, applications are considered on a space-available basis. For the coming school year, orientations are scheduled beginning in April.

The applicant must be five years old on or before September 1 of the school year. Qualified younger siblings of current HCS students will receive priority in acceptance prior to April 1.

Following April 1, students will be accepted, all things being equal, in the order applications are received.
