ALL PARENTS, as well as all nonmembers who work with HCS students (e.g., coaches, alumni, and staff) are required to participate in a criminal background check. Requiring background checks is due diligence on our part and helps avoid issues and protect students.
Heritage Christian School will consider accepting students enrolling students in their senior year (or their graduating year); however, the below requirements must be met:
Must pay $500 additional fee and tuition for the entire senior year regardless of when you enroll. See Tuition and Misc. Fee schedule for details.
Admission to HCS as a senior requires a review by HCS of the student’s high school transcripts to determine if the student will be able to meet graduation requirements by the end of the school year.
Students must be in good standing with their previous school. We will not accept students that have been expelled or have had any legal, disciplinary or truancy problems with their previous school. Cumulative records will be reviewed for any problems.
As with all of our families, membership in Home School Legal Defense Association is recommended. www.hslda.org
Please be aware that HCS is not accredited. See our reasons why here.
If you will NOT be residing in California, it is important to know that each state may have their own requirements for homeschooling in general, and for high school graduation specifically. Being enrolled as an HCS family does not exempt you from these requirements. It is up to you to check your state homeschooling regulations and comply with them.
You can be enrolled under our Private School Affidavit, but that may not, by itself, fulfill the homeschool requirements of your state.
You can get a high school diploma from us if your student has met all of our requirements for graduation (which meets California graduation standards), but if your student will go on to college in your state, they may or may not regard your student favorably if he or she did not ALSO meet all of the requirements set for homeschoolers in your state.
See our fee schedule for Out of County enrollment and tuition.
