After the 2nd class, the teacher will retain the full 1st-semester payment. Once a student has taken any class in the 2nd semester, there will be no refund given for any portion of the class fee.

The final drop date to receive any portion of the 1st-semester fee is August 25, 2025

Admin fees are payable to HCS.

Parent Volunteer Hours

As with all HCS services, parents are required to volunteer time in order to participate in Academy. Each parent must sign up for two volunteer slots per student enrolled in Academy. If you are able and willing to take on more slots, feel free to do so!

On the weeks that we have low parent volunteers on campus, the fellowship room (and other parts of campus) may be closed and students will need to remain in study hall quietly studying during their off-periods.

Setup/Cleanup Jobs


A limited number of setup or cleanup jobs are available and can be completed by your high school student in your place. Due to the high interest in these limited number of jobs, all parents wanting one of these slots must meet the following criteria:

1. parents who work full-time on Mondays
2. non-working parents who have previously volunteered in "monitor" roles
3. students who are responsible and have their own transportation

Admin Fees - Due upon registration/Non-refundable

There is a NON-REFUNDABLE $85 per class Admin fee payable to HCS due within 30 days of class registration. You will be billed for this fee from the HCS office. Students whose Admin fee is outstanding after 30 days will be automatically removed from classes. You will need to re-register for those classes assuming there is still space available.

***Admin fees will not be refunded for any reason.***
