Admissions Process

Admissions Process

Our Admissions Process is designed to provide several opportunities for you to visit our campus and discover the value of our small student-to-teacher ratio and our individualized learning model. We require that you attend at least one Coffee & Chat or the Open House, and schedule a separate campus tour. Students will be required to attend a shadow day for Kindergarten through 5th Grade. Students applying for K3 and K4 will come for a morning visit and assessment. Other on campus opportunities include Story Time for our K3-K5 students, and World's Fair Day for any prospective parent. Visit opportunities include:

• Coffee & Chat: October 23, 2020 from 9:00-10:00 a.m.   Join us for coffee and a chance to meet with our Head of School and Admissions Director. We will cover what makes HVCS unique among many school options here in the Chattanooga area. Spots are limited and you must RSVP by phone to the school 2 days prior to the event. (ph. 423.894.3200)

• Open House Opportunity: Feb.4, 2021 6:30-7:30 p.m.
  This is a time for you to meet our wonderful faculty, staff, and some current families. The faculty will be available to answer questions regarding curriculum and highlights from their grades. Attendees asked to please RSVP  by Feb. 3. 

• Individual Tours -Starting in the fall, prospective families may call the school office (423-894-3200) to schedule a tour. You will see the entire campus, hear and see how our school mission is implemented on a daily basis, and discover many of the opportunities afforded the students both inside and outside the classroom. Parents can view the classrooms but interaction with the teachers is reserved for the Open House in order to minimize the disruption during instructional time.

• Story Time: February 6, 2021 9:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m.  Need something fun to do on a cold Saturday morning? Story Time is geared towards our youngest learners in K3, K4, and K5. Students will be divided into 3 groups by age. They will have an opportunity to hear a story and see it acted out by our talented drama students, as well as visit their prospective classroom and make a fun craft. Prospective parents will also have a chance to meet current parents and hear what they love about their child's HVCS experience.
  
• World’s Fair Day: April 27, 2020 9:00 a.m.-12 noon. This is a unique school wide event celebrated every year. Each grade is given a continent to study, so that by the time they graduate 5th grade they have covered all 7 continents. You will be able to tour the world through our classrooms and observe research projects, view creative artwork, and taste a variety culinary favorites from around the globe. An admissions representative will be available.
