WILL HLA WORK FOR YOU?

  • Parents must have internet service and their valid email address that is checked regularly. Must stay subscribed to our HLA mailing list for important information, updates, and reminders.

  • Re-enroll annually by August 1 or by the time school begins in your area.

  • Report grades and attendance twice a year in Applecore. (January 15 and June 15)

  • Enter an Education Plan in Applecore for the upcoming school year by August 1.

  • Parents/guardians must have a high school diploma or GED*.

HLA’s primary method of communication is through email. It is essential that the email address on your application belongs to the parent/guardian, is current, and is one that you check often. We do not recommend HLA for families that do not have regular, even daily, access to the internet, and email.

Questions?

Yes, highly likely. Please visit our Enroll Now page for more information.

High School Students must be in satisfactory academic standing with no major disciplinary issues from the previous school. If you are unsure, we recommend completing the application and speaking with an Admissions Counselor if needed. In cases not eligible for enrollment with HLA, students are eligible for enrollment through ArchwayOnline, HLA’s accredited, online sister school.

Please read our policies regarding account holders (parent, legal guardian, etc.), account access, and records requests for non-account holders. See policy here

Testing is not required in TN, FL, SC, AL, and CO for enrollment when registered with HLA. We believe that whether to test or not is a parent’s decision and therefore optional. If you are not in one of our legal covering states, please check your state laws for testing requirements.

FL, AL, and CO families must provide immunization records or notification of exemption. Click here for information about immunizations.

IMPORTANT: HomeLife Academy is designed for families intending to homeschool through graduation. Umbrella schools are NOT accredited. This is not important for colleges, but if you choose to transfer your student to a public or private school, that school may require placement tests to determine the student’s grade placement or credits earned. It is up to each public or private school’s policies whether or not they will accept any credits completed while homeschooling. This applies to students homeschooling through an umbrella school or the county. This is a standard practice. If your student is in high school and you know they will be returning to public school, you may want to consider an accredited online school like HLA’s sister school, ArchwayOnline, in which credits will transfer back into the system.

*Parents/guardians not meeting the high school diploma or GED requirement can call for more information regarding options.

Students and Parent-teachers must agree to our Code of Ethics, which is acknowledged in our application. If there is a reason to suspect educational neglect or that a student’s grades or records have been falsified or cheating has occurred, HLA reserves the right to evaluate the situation and require students to complete end-of-course exams or another testing to validate grades and credits earned in order to be included on HLA’s transcript and receive credit. NEST may be required to continue enrollment with HLA.
