PROCEDURE FOR ADMISSION

• Come visit us. You and your parents are invited to visit the campus at any time. If possible, we would appreciate knowing in advance, so that accommodations and meals will be ready for you. While visiting, you may wish to meet the deans, registrar, work supervisors, classroom teachers and the principal. With such a visit, you can learn firsthand whether Highland Academy offers the type of secondary education you are searching for.
  
• Apply for admission. Obtain an application form from the center of the school handbook and fill it out on both sides. Be sure both you and your parents sign the appropriate lines on the back. Mail the completed application with a $15 application fee to:

Highland Academy
Attention: Admissions Office
211 Highland Circle Drive
Portland, TN 37148-4918

• Give a recommendation form to each of the three individuals you chose on the application form, asking them to send them by return mail. Use the recommendation forms that can be found on our website or in the center of the school handbook.
  
• An application will be ready for acceptance when three completed recommendation forms from individuals chosen on your application have been received.
  
  Before you may register for classes, however, there are a number of forms and information required, such as a recent physical examination (within the past two years), current immunization record, copy of birth certificate, copy of social security card, etc.
  
• Come to campus. After you have received your letter of acceptance, you are eligible to register. You should plan to arrive on campus August 8 for Parent/Student Orientation Weekend. Classes and work assignments will begin August 11.

(In addition, see Foreign Students under the “Financial Information” section.) Foreign students are required to submit the same documentation as is required by U.S. citizens. In addition, foreign students are required to complete and submit an International Student Questionnaire along with a copy of their passport before they will be eligible for acceptance and the I-20 issued.
