High School > College Bound Students

Although HLA may accept a credit for diploma requirements, it is up to the parent to insure the coursework will be accepted by the college or university for admissions purposes. Students planning to attending a 4 year university will need to make sure they have the requirements needed for admission to the college / university of their choice.

Many students have early aspirations to go to college and have already determined which college they would like to attend. Other students do not make these types of decisions until their junior or senior year of high school. If your student is unsure concerning future goals, we highly recommend beginning with the recommendations listed below. College bound students should begin researching colleges/universities admissions requirements.  Once your student begins to get a clearer picture concerning future goals and college preference, you can make adjustments to the 4 year plan as needed. HLA believes college bound students should put a strong focus on the areas of English, Math, Science, and Electives. Below is a list of recommendations to get you started. We feel these recommendations will satisfy many 4 year universities.

IMPORTANT: Below is a list of recommendations to assist you with planning. Parents are responsible for contacting colleges for specific admissions requirements. Parents are also responsible for ensuring their students meet their state requirements as well as HLA. With diligent preparation and planning, the below recommendations (Chart B) should help you build upon the basic diploma requirements to equip a student for college. We call this Goal-Based Education ["Goal-Based Education" audio and video workshops available summer, 2009].

Also, typical course descriptions, as well as frequently asked questions, are provided for your convenience.
