Enroll Today!

We are a year-round school, and we accept enrollments year-round.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING OUR SCHOOL YEAR

HPA is year-round, meaning our school term is 365 days from September 1st to August 31st. Students can enroll at any time during the year. We offer monthly and yearly plans. If you are enrolling late in the year, please remember that our school year does not end until August 31st. If you enroll before August 31st, you are enrolling for the current school year. You will be charged again each month or, if yearly, on September 1st for the upcoming school year unless you use our early enrollment coupon code. Pre-registration is ONLY for YEARLY payment plans. If paying monthly, you must either wait until the school year you are registering for begins or contact us so that we can apply your payment appropriately.

REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

  1. Age Verification: A copy of a Birth Certificate, passport, baptismal record, or other official age certification is necessary for each child enrolled, whether entering kindergarten only or having never been registered in a public or private school.
    • Further information may be obtained via The Florida Department of Health – My-Florida.com – Birth Certificates or National Center for Health Statistics – Where to Write for Vital Records.
  2. Student Health Examination (HRS-H Form 3040) or Exemption waiver. You may alternatively check the “Exemption” box on the student’s enrollment form instead of uploading the health form.
  3. Florida Certificate of Immunization (HRS Form 680) or Exemption waiver. You may alternatively check the “Exemption” box on the student’s enrollment form instead of uploading the immunization certificate.
  4. Complete the HPA enrollment application below.
  5. Upload the required documents to your student’s profile (or check the exemption box), ensure all enrollment questions are answered, and click update.
    • After you are registered and have enrolled your student(s), look on your dashboard and click on “Student” and then on “View/Edit” next to the appropriate student. On this screen, you will see all the necessary enrollment questions and the areas where you can upload the documents. It would be very helpful if you changed the document’s file name to contain the student’s name and the document’s contents before uploading. Example: JaneDoeExemptionWaiver. pdf
    • The slots are as follows:
      • Age verification- Birth certificate, passport, baptismal certificate, etc. (Not required for students who have ever attended any other school before)
      • Health Certificate (School Physical), State exemption waiver, our checkbox, or exemption certificate. (Required for ALL students)
      • Immunization Certificate, State exemption waiver, our checkbox, or certificate of exemption. (Required for ALL students)
    • If you’ve already uploaded the documents, the student’s profile will still say “Pending” until we are able to verify and change the status to “Enrolled.” If the account has not been updated after two business days, please contact us.
  6. Once your child is enrolled, there is no need to re-enroll annually as long as tuition does not lapse.

Note: While we are an approved private school for families to receive school choice scholarships, we do not accept the funds to pay for our tuition, nor can said funds be reimbursed to you. HPA does not receive tax credits or funding from tax dollars or participate in any government-funded programs as we believe that the costs of such programs — most notably parents’ loss of freedom to direct their children’s education — outweigh the benefits. We keep our tuition very low, offer convenient payment plans, and offer many included resources to assist our families further.
