The admissions process is as follows:

​

• Local school district personnel sends the relevant records (IEP, evaluation reports, etc) to Northern Hills Academy where they are requesting placement.

• Once in receipt of the referral, the Northern Hills Academy program case manager will contact the local district CST member who sent the referral.

• Together they will schedule an intake meeting which will include the local district, the student, and the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s).

• The intake will include a tour of the school and then a discussion about the specifics of the program and the student’s individual educational needs.

• If the student's IEP team along with the NHA team deems it to be an appropriate placement a new IEP is developed and the student will begin to attend the school.
