ENROLLMENT FOR STUDENTS IS NOW CLOSED!
Students must enter Higher Achievement during the Summer Academy.
To be eligible for the Higher Achievement Program, a student must meet the following requirements:
Willing to commit 650 hours per year for 3-4 years in the program
Be in 4th or 5th grade. While Higher Achievement serves scholars in 5th – 8th grade, most new scholars apply in the spring of their 4th or 5th grade year.
Live or attend school in Washington, DC, Alexandria, VA or Baltimore, MD.
There are several required steps to enroll a student in the program.
Review the three parts of our program if you haven’t already done so. It is critical that every family and student understands all three elements of Higher Achievement.
Submit an application online, via fax, or through the mail.
Schedule an interview to be considered for the program. During the interview, we assess a student’s talents and areas of challenge, and his or her willingness to commit to our program. Consideration for Higher Achievement is not solely based on standardized test scores and grades; commitment to our rigorous, multi-year program is also an important factor.
