back to their local school?
Because we are fully accredited through the National Association of
Private Schools, an overwhelming majority of public and private schools
accept credits earned through our program as transfer credits. However,
it is always best for students to check with their local school regarding
policies concerning transfer credit.
- If a student earns his/her diploma from Highland Heights, will
colleges accept and recognize it for admission purposes?
Due to our accreditation (see above question) our diploma is recognized
nationally. However as in the above question, it is always best for
students to check the admission policies of the college they are interested
in attending.
- How easily can students transfer into Highland Heights from other
schools or homeschool settings?
Students can easily transfer into our program. If students enter from
other schools, we simply review the previous records, accept credits
or grades based on those records and send the appropriate courses for
students to continue their studies. For homeschooled students entering
our program, we ask for written descriptions of the courses studied,
grades earned and the type of curriculum used. For all students in grades
9-12 we also develop a graduation plan based on previous credits earned.
- Does Highland Heights offer placement testing?
Yes. If any parent requests for their child to be tested prior to placement
in any course work, we have arranged for the Wide Range Achievement
Test to be given by a separate testing agency at a cost of $25.00. 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.
