HCA does not discriminate in admission on the basis of race, color, sex or national origin. Admission to HCA is granted on the basis of past academic performance, previous conduct and behavior, records and testing. Acceptance is also based on the ability of the school to meet the educational and spiritual needs of the student. In addition, parents must be in agreement with the mission, philosophy and policies of the school. We reserve the right to accept or reject an applicant for any reason or no reason.
