All forms listed in bold are available for download by clicking the title in the text or in the list at the top of this page.

Step 1:
Arrange a parent tour of HBHA. Contact Tamara Lawson Schuster, Director of Admissions, to schedule your visit. If applying for kindergarten, attend a Taste of Kindergarten evening in January. Steps 2 and 3 may be completed before step 1.

Step 2:
Complete and submit the Application for Admission with a $50 non-refundable application fee and a copy of your child’s birth certificate or passport.

Step 3: 
Give the signed Records Release Form to your child’s current school and either the Grades K-1 Teacher Evaluation Form or the Grades 2-11 Teacher Evaluation  to your child’s current teacher. Transcripts and evaluations need to be sent directly from your child’s current school to the HBHA Admissions Office.

Step 4:
If applying for kindergarten, register your child for Kindergarten Round-up on February 4, 2011. Applications for admission must be submitted on or prior to attending Round-up. If applying after Round-up, schedule your child for a short visit to the HBHA kindergarten. Applicants to grades 1 through 11 will need to spend a half or full day at HBHA in his/her current grade class. To schedule your child’s visit, please contact Tamara Lawson Schuster, Director of Admissions.

Step 5 (optional):
Submit a Financial Assistance Application and related documents to our Chief Financial Officer, Gary Hedberg. See the Tuition and Financial Assistance page for financial assistance information and forms.

Acceptance letters and enrollment contracts for kindergarten will be mailed in early March, and thereafter on a rolling basis. Acceptance letters and enrollment contracts for lateral entries will be sent on a rolling basis.
