For homeschooled students entering our program, we ask for written descriptions of the courses studied, grades earned and the type of curriculum used.

Parents must call Highland Heights and request the test prior to enrollment, and pay the testing cost directly to the testing agency. Detailed information on the test and testing procedures will be given when the test is requested.
