Admissions Process

Admissions Statement

Heritage School of Texas welcomes you to its admissions process. Heritage invites you to become acquainted with the school through its school publications, a visit to the campus, and/or a conversation with a member of the administration.

The goal of the Admissions Committee at Heritage School of Texas is to bring together a student body which can best grow spiritually, intellectually, and physically. Each candidate’s academic potential, scholastic profile, and character development will be taken into consideration. The Admissions Committee will seek to make each admissions decision based on what is best for the child and for the school. Because of the magnitude and importance of its task, the Committee’s independence and integrity will be guarded.

The steps in the admissions process are outlined below, ALL GRADES:

5. ADMISSIONS TESTING:
   • In addition to the student observation day, select applicants will complete a full battery of admissions testing scheduled through the Dean of Students.
