You can apply here by clicking on the application button. However, before you apply, be sure to use the Online Learning Reflection Tool to see if virtual learning for all of 2021-22 is the best fit for your student.

• Register your student: Registration is underway for the 2021 Summer Academy! The program will give HCPS students an opportunity for enrichment, credit recovery, remediation, and exploration. Watch a recording of a recent discussion about this exciting program, part of HCPS’ Bridge Builders Academy series.
