Since 1993, Heritage Academy has continued to provide a peronalized educational program in a stimulating, supportive learning enviornment for students pursuing outside professional training in athletics or the arts.
Nestled a short sprint from the Atlantic Ocean on the small, barrier island of Hilton Head off of the coast of South Carolina, Heritage Academy is a school that supports students who enjoy a serious extracurricular passion.
At Heritage Academy, we believe that a small caring community of diverse, highly-trained professionals working with students who seek to develop a passion in life creates the ideal learning environment and can help bring balance to their lives.
Young people have curious minds, tremendous energy, innate talent and incredible spirit all waiting to be awakened and nurtured.
We respect research suggesting that students can reach full potential in analytical thinking, creative expression, and civic responsibility only when the walls of the traditional classroom are extended beyond the school facility.
Whether in the classroom or pursuing extracurricular passions, our students are actively engaged in learning as accomplished scholars, artists and athletes.

The absolute best school for a serious student-athlete looking for a challenging college-preparatory learning environment with supportive and talented teachers. We could not be happier with the level of adult oversight and action to advance our son's educational opportunities in order to be selected to a top-tier university and collegiate team. His dream came true at Heritage because they believe in their mission and provide excellent results for their students. Top-flight education all around.
