Admissions Criteria

SOH seeks students who demonstrate strong academic and social skills and the desire to participate in a community that has high expectations for its students. Students who are accepted to SOH and succeed in the program are motivated, participatory, and disciplined.

SOH conducts a comprehensive process that takes into account a number of indicators about student academic performance and personal development in making admissions decisions.

Students must be nominated to SOH by their public schools. Schools may offer applications to a maximum of five students who meet program eligibility criteria. Unfortunately, parents cannot request applications for admission directly from SOH.
