Apply

Are you interested in applying to North Hardin Christian School?

OUR PROCESS

NHC accepts applications throughout the year. Official enrollment season for the upcoming school year begins Jan 1.


To begin the process, please submit the inquiry form below. After your inquiry has been received and processed, we will follow up with additional information about the admissions process, including an invitation to the application portal.


After the application is processed, you will receive a letter of confirmation and a phone call to schedule a student assessment. Each applicant is assessed by a teacher, looking specifically at math, reading, writing, and grammar at the appropriate grade level. 


After applying, parents are also asked to request student recommendations (sent directly to the school by the recommender), which gives us a more complete picture of each prospective student and how he or she interacts with peers in a classroom environment. The recommendations must be received before the family interview, which is the final step in the application process. This interview is an opportunity for parents to meet with a school administrator and learn more about NHC, and for us to learn more about your family. 


Please note that, for their starting year, rising Kindergarten students must turn five by August 1.
