The mission of The Island Academy of Hilton Head is to provide preschool through 12th grade students with a collaborative, challenging, and creative learning environment empowering them to be contributing citizens.

We seek to ensure that all students participate in their own education. We provide a unique learning opportunity by partnering with our community, focusing on mastery over grades, and teaching children how to become curious lifelong thinkers and doers who explore and create in and beyond the classroom.

At the Island Academy, students:

are known and respected as unique individuals.
personalize their education with individualized learning plans.
engage in small-group, collaborative learning supported by master teachers.
enjoy individualized support and guidance made possible by the 8:1 student-teacher ratio.
learn through a rigorous, integrated, project-driven curriculum, designed to support creativity, innovation, mastery, and life-long love of learning.
regularly and purposefully explore, interact, and engage with their community and natural world.

Classes meet Monday through Thursday from 8:45 am until 3:30 pm and Friday 8:45am until 1:30pm.
