School Admissions

JHCS is open for all interested 9th-12th grade students. Students are admitted to JHCS based upon a number of factors ranging from the quality of the completed application to the motivations of the individual student. JHCS provides an academically rigorous, college-preparatory environment where students are expected to work hard and to give back to the community. Students are given a tremendous amount of responsibility for their own learning and for creating the culture of JHCS. Students who wish to attend JHCS should understand the seriousness of purpose required of students, be willing to uphold the academic standards of the School, and be committed to being an active participant in the JHCS community.
Admissions Checklist

Students
1.) Complete the Student Questionnaire and Student Essay (both in your own handwriting).
2.) Distribute the English/Social Studies and Math/Science Teacher Recommendations to your current teachers. Fill in your name and the grade you are applying for at the top of each of these forms and place stamps on the envelopes before you give these to your teachers. Be sure that these teachers know you well and are familiar with the application deadline date.
3.) Give the Personal Reference form and a stamped envelope to an adult who knows you well –a coach, teacher, relative, neighbor or employer – and ask him/her to submit this item to JHCS by the application deadline date.

Parents
1.) Contact JHCS immediately if you would like to receive a financial aid application. All forms necessary to apply will be sent to you.
2.) Complete Application Forms 1, 2, and 3.
3.) Complete the top portion of the Request for Release of Student Records and Teacher Evaluation, and submit this document (with a stamped envelope) to the guidance office where your son or daughter is currently enrolled.
4.) Mail the entire Application for Admission, including the Student Questionnaire and Student Essay, and a $25.00 non-refundable application fee to JHCS. (Checks are payable to JHCS, and waivers of the application fee are available upon request.)
