Application Process
Application for admission to Academy of the Canyons is open to any student living within the William S. Hart Union High School District. Students do not need to be currently attending a Hart District school in order to apply.
The application process begins in late February with AOC faculty and administrators visiting the local junior high and high schools to inform students about the opportunities at AOC. Several parent informational meetings are scheduled during February and March throughout the Santa Clarita Valley to give more detailed information on our program to parents and prospective students.
