K-12 Admissions Process

List of 9 items.

  • Explore & Learn

    The first step in considering HCA is to browse the links and articles on our website. Feel free to contact our Admissions Coordinator at admissions@hcakc.org. She is here to help you identify if HCA is the right fit for your family and to answer any questions.

  • Campus Tour

    Walk through one or both campuses, meet our faculty, and discover our commitment to intellectual, creative, physical, social, and spiritual growth! Tours typically take 30-45 minutes. Your students are welcome to join!

  • Shadow Experience - Optional

    Join us for a Shadow Day where your child can experience a day in the life of an HCA Student. This allows students to explore our faith-based curriculum, engage with passionate teachers, and connect with peers with similar values. Shadow days are typically scheduled on Tuesdays, so your student can experience what chapel is like at HCA.

  • Prayerfully Consider

    As you explore school options, we encourage you to prayerfully seek God’s guidance. Taking the time to reflect and ask for direction can bring clarity and peace, helping ensure that your decision aligns with your family's values and goals.

  • Submit Application & Forms

    Applications are created and submitted online. A non-refundable fee is required when applying. The application fee is $50 for each student.

  • Parent Interview

    This is a chance for your family to engage in a meaningful discussion with an HCA administrator about our spiritual and educational partnership. Together, we can assess whether our values and goals are in alignment.

  • Admissions Decision

    Admissions selection is based on the application, forms, church reference, interview, current openings, and other factors relevant to each family's situation. Our admission decisions reflect our commitment to Heritage Christian Academy's and our students' best interests. Acceptance offers will include instructions on completing enrollment.

  • Welcome

    Once you sign the enrollment contract, you are officially an HCA Charger! We can't wait for you to arrive on campus and meet your new family.

    Applications for the 2026–27 school year open online on February 2, 2026, for available grades and waitpool consideration.

    Complete applications submitted by February 27 will receive first-round consideration, with decisions released within 30–45 days of submission. Applications received after February 27 will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

    An admissions interview is required, but does not need to be completed by February 27 to qualify for first-round review.

Wait Pool

When a grade reaches capacity, qualified applicants may be placed in our wait pool. If space becomes available, the Admissions Office will contact families to let them know if their student has been selected for enrollment during the current academic year.

Selections from the wait pool are based on a variety of factors.

Once the wait pool is full, we will continue to collect contact information from interested families, but an application will not be required at that time.
 

Out-of-Town Applicants

We regularly work with families in the process of relocating and strive to be as flexible and helpful as possible. Please don't hesitate to contact our Admissions Department to arrange any necessary accommodations.
