Open Houses
Both academies operate as Closed Campuses, meaning families not enrolled in an academy may not drop-in to observe classes throughout the year. Instead, there are two times per year that each academy offers an Open House. Members and non-HCS members may RSVP to sit in on any classes at either academy on these dates. Note the dates, times, locations, and RSVP instructions for both academies below.
