ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
Heritage Academy
The IJGA Lifestyle Program students attend Heritage Academy, a college
preparatory school on Hilton Head Island comprised of students from 27
countries and 28 states. With 25 years of results, including a well-rounded
Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum, Heritage Academy prepares their
graduates for college and for life. Specifically, Heritage Academy offers
over 50 AP and Honors courses in grades 9-12. In partnership with former
Head of School at Sea Pines Montessori Academy (South Carolina’s Oldest
Montessori School), Heritage Academy’s Junior High School offers a
middle-years curriculum that meets the social, emotional, physical, spiritual
and intellectual needs of a student in grades 7-8.
Heritage Academy is 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. Young people have curious minds,
tremendous energy, innate talent and incredible spirit all waiting to be
awakened and nurtured. Heritage Academy respects 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 Heritage Academy experience balances breadth of
exposure and in-depth pursuit of students’ strongest
interests.
Although the teachers at Heritage Academy make themselves available for
before and after school tutoring, the on-campus IJGA Learning Center offers
additional student study resources in the afternoon, evening and over the
weekend.
