Q. Do you have to be a high school graduate to take IHH training?
A. High school graduation is not strictly required in order to attend IHH. The IHH academic workload is fairly demanding, though, so incoming students should be prepared to really apply themselves.

Q. Is IHH accredited?
A. IHH is not accredited by the usual accreditation organizations. Although this means that IHH students do not qualify for government student loans, etc. the government does recognize IHH as a ministry of Harvest City Church. Therefore IHH fees are deductible as charitable donations (rather than as school tuition), for Canadian income tax purposes.
Benefits… There are benefits to not being accredited. For instance, IHH is not obligated to structure itself like other Bible schools. There is freedom to explore things like high levels of hands-on learning application, strong cooperation with a host local church, extensive mentoring relationships and so on.
And since becoming accredited is a costly undertaking, not being accredited means lower costs to be passed on to our students.
