Enrollment Policies

Hillcrest Prep will only accept transfer grades of C or above. Students who have a D or F in a class will have to retake the class for credit after transferring to Hillcrest Prep or petition their prior D’s for credit. Students whose GPA falls below a 2.0 will be put on academic probation and have one semester to increase his/her GPA above that level. Students who have been long term suspended or expelled from another school will not be allowed to enroll in Hillcrest Prep. If we receive notification of this after the student has enrolled, the student will be immediately withdrawn.

Post graduate and international students are expected to follow all the rules contained in the school’s Code of Conduct.

Enrollment Policies during a Semester (High School Students Only)

Please read the following policies and procedures and sign below to indicate you have read and understand them.

Student enrolling in Mid-Semester

Students transferring mid-semester must provide their transfer grades from their previous school in order for those grades to count toward the current semester classes. For students who do not enroll with transfer grades, the subsequent procedure will follow.

1. If the student enrolls two weeks or less into the semester, he/she will need to make up the work and continue with the rest of the class.

2. If the student enrolls between 2 and 11 weeks into the semester, he/she will be excused from whatever work he/she has missed, but then must pass the post test for the course with a 70% in order to receive credit.

3. If the student comes in after the 11th week, he/she will audit the class

(doing all the work), but he/she will receive no credit.

Students are not accepted for credit after February 1st each year.

Athletics

Please Note: Any student participating in a sport will be required to obtain a physical.

Post graduate student athletes participating in Hillcrest’s post graduate program are involved in more than just practice. They are required to participate in all aspects of the program, including but not limited to the following: SAT/ACT prep; academic and professional action planning; community service; strength training, speed, skill and endurance training; and video analysis of practice and games.

Authorized Signature

I certify that all information submitted in the admission process – including the application and any supporting materials is factually true, and honestly presented, and that these documents will become the property of Hillcrest Academy to which I am applying and will not be returned to me.

Fee Schedule

A $5000 deposit is due upon enrollment in the program. This deposit becomes nonrefundable 10 days prior to the start of the school year. (For international students, $200 of the deposit is non-refundable due to I20 mailing fees, etc.) This is due to the staffing, facility and programming contractual agreements required to be completed prior to the arrival of students. Hillcrest Prep recognizes that sometimes families cannot pay the entire balance by August 1st. Prior approval for this arrangement is required. Players who do not pay in full before August 1 will be charged an additional fee of $50 per month until all funds are received, and will be sent home if payments are not made on time according to the written agreement that is issued. Fees are nonrefundable once school starts unless the player becomes catastrophically ill or injured, with documentation from a licensed medical professional. All fees for the year must be paid in full by December 15 or players will not be allowed to return for the second semester.

There are a limited number of scholarships available to students at Hillcrest Prep, whether they are students who are athletes or non-athletes. Students who receive a scholarship must demonstrate financial need and are expected to participate in work/study. Parents and players may request scholarship assistance; but scholarships are not official unless approved in writing by the Superintendent. Conversations with coaches or other staff members do not constitute scholarship authorization.

Student athletes who are not living at home with parents or guardians are required to stay in school assigned housing.

Fees for prep players include games, practices, group training, travel, uniforms, warm ups, backpacks, and classes. When applicable, room and board includes housing and three meals per day, as well as meals when traveling. Players are responsible for their own spending money. International student fees include educational expenses (college courses, teacher pay, tutoring during school hours) room and board and travel expenses for school outings.

Tuition & Program Fees: $20,000

Room & Board: $15,000

Students may have received some scholarship money which will affect the pricing above. Make sure to pay the amount on your tuition contract. The pricing above is our full tuition.

By signing this contract, the parent/guardian agrees to abide by the terms stated here, as well as those in the parent/student handbook and handbook for residential students if applicable. It is understood that not every possible circumstance can be listed in a handbook and that students will be held accountable for appropriate behavior. It is the school administration’s expectation that students use good judgment and make acceptable decisions. Furthermore, the student and parent/guardian understand and accept that the school administration will have the determination of acceptable or unacceptable behavior and subsequent consequences. Additionally, continued enrollment is based on payments being current.

If a student is dismissed or withdrawn from the school for any reason other than a serious medical condition that makes it impossible for the student to continue (as documented by a physician), tuition, room and board and program fees are forfeited. There is no refund.

Inclusive Education Philosophy

Hillcrest Prep embraces the philosophy of full inclusion, believing that special education students can best be educated in the regular classroom. Our teachers accept responsibility for all students in their classroom and modify, accommodate and adjust teaching techniques and classroom activities to meet the unique learning abilities of all students. Special education staff supports the regular classroom teacher with this process. There are not two distinctly different types of students, e.g. “special” and “regular.” All students are individuals with their own unique set of physical, intellectual and psychological characteristics that influence their instructional needs. There are not two discrete sets of instructional methods – one set for “special” students and another for “regular” students. Individualized instructional programs are designed for each student.
