Membership & Enrollment Remain Open

2016-2017 Membership & Enrollment

Updated: August 27, 2016

Even though classes have started, new families may still apply for membership and enroll students in classes with space available.

Art & P.E. classes will accept students throughout the 1st semester and into February.

The 2nd Period 1st-4th grade Art-tastic class is open for 2nd Semester enrollment. Tuition would be $87.50 plus listed Materials Fees.

Music & Intro to Public Speaking classes will add students through the first week in October, but require approval afterwards as classes are preparing for the Christmas Festival. Music & Intro to Public Speaking will reopen for 2nd semester enrollment.

Drama may add students, with the understanding that auditions may have already occurred, hence the new student would participate backstage or in a technical role.

3rd-8th grade academic classes require instructor approval after the third week of class. PLEASE DO ASK as often the answer is yes.

High school academic classes may not be added after the second week of class, unless a student can demonstrate knowledge and skills on par with current class progress.

The first step towards enrollment is to apply for HCA membership. There are no fees to apply for membership, nor does it obligate you to enroll in classes.

A family may enroll in any number of classes per student, i.e. from one to six classes per student. A Lunch (brown bag) & Recess period is available for students bridging between morning and afternoon classes.

Please email us if you have any questions about specific classes or the online membership & enrollment process.

If you are interested in a closed class, please contract HCA to be placed on the Wait List. Sometimes an opening does occur later in the year and it helps HCA determine needs for the following year.

The DROP DEADLINE was May 31, 2016. Tuition & Materials Fees are non-fundable unless there is Wait List for a class AND another student is immediately able to fill the slot.

Class Notes and Field Trips

Please carefully read course descriptions to determine if the content and required homework will work with your homeschooling goals and priorities. Contact HCA's registrar via the website if you have any questions.

Required textbooks and school supplies must be purchased by families unless it is stated in the course description that the Materials Fee will be used by the teacher to purchase textbooks for the class.

Save the date! HCA's fall field trip to the National Zoo will be Friday, October 7 (rain date - October 14).
