Teaching
We push ourselves farther, drive ourselves harder, and work smarter. ---Robert Lin

The application process is designed to give both the members of Headwaters Academy an opportunity to learn about the applicant, and to give the applicant and his or her family the opportunity to learn more about our school. Each applicant's individual strengths, talents, attitude and willingness to be a positive member of the community are considered. The application process consists of three parts: a school visit, the application credentials and a personal interview. Home-schooled applicants should contact the Director of Admissions regarding appropriate procedures.

THE SCHOOL VISIT
  • Students visit the Academy for two days and accompany a current student. Visiting students are expected to participate fully in class activity (except Outdoor Education) and to submit assigned homework.

  • Contact the Director of Admissions to make school visit arrangements.

APPLICATION CREDENTIALS

  • Submit a completed application for admission; including student & family information, student essay, parent's interview, and alcohol, drugs and tobacco free student commitment.

  • Recommendation forms from both a current mathematics and an English teacher are required. An additional (third) recommendation by another teacher, school administrator or other non-relative adult is encouraged, but not required. Recommendations should be sent separate from the application or in sealed envelopes if they accompany the application.

  • Have an official transcript sent from all schools attended.

  • Enclose a $50.00 non-refundable application fee.

  • All application materials should be sent to:

    Director of Admissions
    Headwaters Academy
    418 West Garfield

ACTIVE PARENT PARTICIPATION

The majority of a student's expenses at the Academy are covered by our annual tuition. Current total tuition is $8,000. Discounts are provided to any family with more than one child concurrently enrolled. Contact the school for current costs and fees.

Approximately 30% of our students receive financial aid to meet tuition costs. Financial aid is available to those who qualify. All financial aid is assigned on a "need" basis. Needs are assessed by the School and Student Service for Financial Aid organization. Please contact the Headmaster at Headwaters Academy with any questions about financial aid.
