Admissions

            Leonard Hall Naval Academy is an approved school with the Maryland State Board of Education for instruction of grades six through twelve.  Leonard Hall Junior Naval Academy is a co-educational program with a Military format that professes Christian principles.  While all students must attend the Military and Christian aspects of the school, Leonard Hall does not discriminate in the admissions process against alternate religious beliefs.

          The admissions process begins with the prospective family, including the parent/guardian and potential student, setting up an admissions appointment with the Headmaster of the school.  The agenda of the admissions appointment shall be:  

ü                  A thorough overview of the school’s program given by the Headmaster.

ü                  An interview with the parent/guardian and student conducted by the Headmaster.

ü                  A question/answer session for the prospective family conducted by the Headmaster.

ü                  A tour of the facility given by the Headmaster or another staff member.

ü                  A placement test given to the prospective student which is proctored by the Headmaster.  The placement test battery is comprised of two sections:  a timed, multiple-choice aptitude test ( OLSAT ) and a writing sample.  If a student is scheduled to test, every effort will be made to accommodate special needs provided advance notice is given and LHNA is equipped to handle such needs.

ü                  The parent/guardian will complete the prospective admissions paperwork which include but are not limited to:  a transcript request form, parent information sheet and a student questionnaire.

The next step in the admissions process is to review the items from the admissions appointment. These items are as follows:

ü                  The results of the placement test scores are compiled within a timely manner. 

ü                  After the placement tests scores are published and the transcripts have been received, the Headmaster will determine the admissions status of the student.  The importance of evaluating the transcripts is based on the need of the Administration to realize the academic and behavioral progress of the student in prior educational environments. 

ü                  Admissions status will be conveyed to prospective families in written format.  If the student is accepted, the family is encouraged to enroll swiftly since the availability per grade is limited.  If a student is not accepted, the family may request a conference with the Headmaster to discuss why the student was not accepted.

ü                  LHNA reserves the right to accept or reject any student.
