Smith Stearns recognizes the need for players to combine intense training with academic development. Fortunately, Hilton Head Island offers four outstanding academic institutions, including Heritage Academy, Hilton Head High School, Hilton Head Christian Academy and Hilton Head Preparatory School.

Most of our student athletes attend Heritage Academy, which specializes in personalized programs for students with athletic, artistic and academic passions.

Students may also earn their high school diplomas online, either through the Kaplan College Preparatory School or through the well-regarded Laurel Springs School.

Online bachelor’s degree programs are available through the International Baccalaureate Organization.
