Why Families Are Reaching Out

The most common questions we hear.

If your question is here, you'll find a quick answer below — or feel free to send us a note and we'll respond personally. Highland Academy leadership reads and answers every message.

📅

What's the schedule?

Class days, weekly rhythm, and how Highland fits the rest of your homeschool week — we'll walk you through it in detail during the family interview, but the basics are happy to share by email.

💰

What does it cost?

Tuition is structured per course, not as a flat annual fee. The full schedule is reviewed during your family interview — but we're happy to give a rough range by email beforehand.

🎓

Do you offer [specific subject]?

Our catalog evolves each semester. Browse the current catalog or ask us — if there's enough family interest, we add courses each year.

📍

Where are you located?

Highland Academy is in Hickory, NC. Most of our families drive less than 30 minutes — from Catawba, Burke, Caldwell, Alexander, and Iredell counties.

🤔

Is Highland right for our family?

Honest answer: not every family. We're Christian, hybrid (not full-time), and we expect parents to stay engaged. If that sounds right, apply and we'll talk through fit during the interview.

When can we start?

Applications for Fall 2026 are open now. We can also discuss Spring 2027 or later semesters during your family interview — just let us know your timing.

Ready to take the next step?

Whether you're early in your homeschooling journey or you've been homeschooling for years, we'd love to meet your family and see if Highland Academy is the right fit.
