In the fall of 2008, we will welcome two new Kindergarten classes and also offer limited spaces in first, second, third, fourth, and fifth grades.
All residents of District 6 are eligible to apply. Criteria for admission are the child's family's commitment to the school's philosophy
and to parental involvement in the educational process. Preference will be given to siblings of students already enrolled. Our admissions process
strives to find diverse families whose educational vision matches that of HHA. Suitable families are then chosen by lottery.
Applications are available at the orientation meetings/tours only. Applications are due by February 10, 2008. Applicants will be contacted to schedule classroom visits.
Please attend one of our orientation sessions/tours to learn more about our philosophy and to see our classrooms.
