Welcome to Hilton Head Preparatory School

We welcome all families to visit our campus and see the difference Hilton Head Preparatory School gives every child Junior Kindergarten through 12th grade.

List of 3 items.

  • Open House

    Our Open House programs run throughout the year where you are given the opportunity to meet your teachers, tour the classrooms, and see the special connection our community has with Hilton Head Preparatory School. 

  • Shadow a Student

    Our Shadow a Student program is a special treat with past, present and prospect students. We welcome your child to Hilton Head Preparatory School's campus to "be a student" for the day. While touring with a student with similar academic and extracurricular activities, they will see the classroom environment, meet our teachers and current students, see what special activities they could become apart of at Hilton Head Prep! It is a special time for all students and we highly recommend. 

  • Student Admissions Assessment

    Prospective students will take an admission assessment as one of the final steps in the admission process. Assessments for grades 1st-8th are conducted at Prep beginning in October on select Mondays between 9:00-11:00. Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten students will partake in a Skills and Development Assessment in the spring.

In mid-March, we begin our Rolling Admission phase and will consider applicants individually, provided that available space remains.
