If you are ready to begin the application process, please continue with the steps outlined below.

The Application Process

The HHCA application process for new students is conducted in two phases.

Candidates must have completed all items in Phase 1 and Phase 2 by January 14, 2022, in order to be included in priority enrollment. After January 14, 2022, we will continue to accept applications on a rolling admissions basis.

Phase 1 helps us get to know your family and your student(s). Phase 2 is a continuation of the Admissions process, reached by invitation from the HHCA Admissions Committee.

After all Phase 1 steps are completed, the Admissions Committee will notify candidate families regarding the student's application status. Continuation into Phase 2 is reached by invitation and assumes that the potential for a successful partnership between HHCA and the candidate family has been established.

Please note: Kindergarten applicants must be 5 years of age on or before September 1 of the intended enrollment year.

Application Steps | Phase 1

Create a MyHHCA Account

To begin the application process, you will need to create an account in MyHHCA.

This will give you access to the application, as well as an Applicant Checklist that you will use throughout the admissions process.

Only one MyHHCA account is needed per family, even if you are submitting applications for more than one student.

If you are a current HHCA family, you can access the application by logging into your MyHHCA account, selecting "Add another student".

Note: Our system may recognize you by your email address. If the system recognizes your email address, your email address will be highlighted in red after you press "Submit." If this occurs, select the "Forgot Login?" button. You will then be prompted to enter your email address to receive an automatic reply containing your username and password. Once you receive your username and password, you will have access to complete the online application, monitor your student's progress through the Admissions process, and learn more about HHCA.

Submit additional records, if applicable (IEP, 504, psychological evaluation).

If your child has an IEP, 504, and/or a psychological evaluation, you may submit those documents through your MyHHCA parent portal. Click on "View Checklist" to upload your documents.

You will hear from the HHCA Admissions Committee usually within 2 weeks regarding HHCA's ability to accommodate your child, both in terms of ARC scheduling and your student's unique needs.

Submit Transcript/Report Card

Report cards/transcripts are required for the last full year of school for all rising 1st-12th grade applicants.

Log in to your MyHHCA parent portal and click on 'View Checklist' to upload this information next to the transcript/report card requirement.

If needed, you can download a Student Records Request form HERE to request records from your student's current school. Report cards/transcripts can come directly from the parent, however, and are not required to be submitted by the candidate's current school. This is a parent-driven process. We will not communicate with your current school unless we speak with you first.

submit recent map test scores

HHCA uses the standardized MAP test to benchmark student candidates during the Admissions process.

If your child has a MAP test score from Spring 2021, log in to your MyHHCA parent portal and click on 'View Checklist' to upload the required documents.

If your child has not taken a MAP test, HHCA offer virtual and on-campus testing. Testing dates are available within your MyHHCA Applicant Checklist.

Submit Math and English evaluations (6th and 9th grade only)

Upon completion of all Phase 1 steps, applicant families will be notified regarding their application status.

Continuation into Phase 2 of the Admissions process is reached only through invitation, and assumes that the potential for a successful partnership between HHCA and the candidate family has been established.

Families who are invited to continue the admissions process will continue with the Phase 2 steps outlined below.
