Admissions Process

Understanding each unique story is central to tailoring education to suit individual student needs.

The enrollment process at Headlands Prep School follows the same pattern as our individualized approach to education: We meet with families and include students in the process. We enroll students year-round, so traditional due dates and start dates may vary.

We always recommend checking with your student’s school of record regarding concurrent enrollment prior to registering with us. If you wish to enroll in a course required for high school graduation, students will need permission from their high school to take the course at Headlands Prep and a Concurrent Enrollment form signed by your school counselor. 

We believe students learn best when engaged and involved in their own academic journey. We help students to develop, communicate, and find a path to their goals, interests, and future.
