Hilger Higher Learning 2026-2027 Application

  • Hilger Higher Learning 2026-2027 Application

  • GETTING STARTED...

    We recommend using a computer to complete this application—not a cell phone/tablet. Please complete one application for each child. This application form may take 15-30 minutes to complete. Please allow yourself adequate time to fill it out. We also recommend having our Grid of Classes in front of you while filling out this form. That will help you piece together your child's schedule.

    ONE APPLICATION PER STUDENT, PLEASE!

    If you have already filled out an application for THIS student for the 2026-2027 school year and need to edit his/her schedule, please submit a Schedule Change Request Form.

    APPLICATION FEES:

    Each class has a one-time application fee to cover registration costs. These will populate on each page of the application as you select courses for your student and will be charged upon submission.

    WAITLIST INFO:

    We actively monitor enrollment and adjust classroom spaces and will contact you as soon as we are able to move your student into a class. If a class that you have selected is full, your student is placed on a waitlist, and we are unable to find another section for them to enroll in—we will inform you of their waitlist status on your acceptance letter. Because we understand that timely planning is important for your family, we are offering these two options:

    • Remain on the waitlist and wait for a spot to open up for your student. In the event that we are unable to offer your student a spot in a course by the first day of school in August, we will refund your application fee.
    • Be removed from the waitlist and receive a refund of your application fee. To do this, please access the Schedule Change Request Form on the application page of our website to drop a class.

    SAVING A DRAFT:

    You can save your progress and come back to the form by clicking "Save" at the bottom of each page. If you wish to save your progress mid-way, you will be prompted to create a Jotform account by entering your email and creating a password. You will then receive a link to come back and finish the application at any time. You cannot have multiple drafts saved at one time. You can save a draft for one child, but then you will need to submit it before you can start another application.

    PLEASE NOTE:

    We give priority placement to returning students, students taking multiple classes, students with sibling schedules that require coordination, and earliest and eldest applicants. Please understand that, if necessary, we may accept your student into a different section of a course for which you have applied.
