Before moving into a new area, most parents want to know is whether or not the schools will meet the requirements of their children. There is no doubt that Hilton Head is a appealing place to visit and to live, but any concerned parent really wants to know whether or not the schools are excellent.
Fortunately, Hilton Head Island schools are good. Hilton Head Island schools consistently rank top in the Beaufort County School District, an impressive school district which focuses on putting technology in the hands of its students. For parents who prefer private schools, Hilton Head has several fantastic schools to offer.
Hilton Head public schools are all located on a significant campus, permitting parents to bring all their children to one central location no matter what age they are. There are two elementary schools on this campus. The first, Hilton Head Island International Baccalaureate Elementary School, uses the IB Primary Years Program to instruct students to think in global terms instead of centering only on what’s in their own backyards. The Hilton Head School for the Creative Arts uses an arts-centered curriculum to educate students problem-solving and thinking skills in addition to foundational academic content.
Hilton Head Middle School and Hilton Head Island High School continue this tradition of excellence, with the high school offering students the chance to finish the IB diploma program. Students who earn the diploma or individual course certificates may earn college credit and are almost guaranteed to have their choice of colleges and universities—even abroad. Newsweek has ranked Hilton Head Island high school at number 426 on its list of the top 1500 high schools in the nation.
There are also a number of private Hilton Head Island schools available to Hilton Head Island students, including Hilton Head Christian Academy, St. Francis Catholic School, Hilton Head Heritage Academy and Hilton Head Preparatory School. Contact a local realtor if you want more information about any of the private schools on Hilton Head Island.
