After you submit this form, you will be directed to the application.

An application fee is required to submit the final application.

Things to consider before applying:

• The following grade levels are currently on wait status only.  Application fees are non-fundable, but you may apply to be considered if space becomes available.  

  • 7th grade (closed for 24-25 at this time)

  • 1st grade (potentially opening in July 2024)

  • 8th grade (potentially opening in July 2024)

 

• Applying does not guarantee a space at HCA. All applications are screened for current grades, behavior, and required references.
   

• Classes may fill up before your application is complete. Please make sure to submit all required documents as soon as possible.
  The application fee is non-refundable.
   

• A consultation with HCA is required for all applications. Students are required to attend. This is the final step before acceptance. Consultations may be denied during enrollment season if an application and all supporting documents are not received.
   

• Applying for HCA is not the Florida scholarship program.  Please log on to Step Up Students to apply for a scholarship. Receiving SUFS does not guarantee a space at HCA. These are separate events.
   

• Priority applications must be completed before June 1. After June 1, your application may not be considered for the 24-25 school year.
   

• Students with a low GPA/grade, attendance issues, retention of the previous school year, or behavioral issues may be denied without an interview.

​

• HCA may not be able to accommodate students with learning challenges or disabilities. Each student is evaluated on his/her ability to function in a regular classroom. HCA does not offer modifications to the curriculum. HCA cannot serve the needs of all students but will review any relevant information before making a decision. Application fees will not be refunded if you choose to apply before a consultation. An IEP or 504 plan is required to be reviewed prior to admission decisions.

​

• HCA has the right to refuse any family a consultation based on various factors. HCA tries to accommodate most families, but students who do not meet minimum requirements will not be interviewed in most situations.

​

The school admits students of any race to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at that school, and it does not discriminate on the basis of race in administering its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

​

We look forward to hearing from you.
