We have had three students at HHP for three years, across all three schools. We couldn't be happier with their experience. We came from a public school in another state and the small classroom size, parent involvement, access to sports clubs and afterschool activities is night and day from our earlier experience. We would highly recommend for any student in the HH and Bluffton area.

We have been at the school for nearly 12 years, and overall our experience has been excellent. The school has been able to adapt to the needs of my two very different children with ease. The sense of community very much extends beyond the campus. The current administration is working to increase the diversity of the local student body, which was the main item of change for which we had hoped.

This school ruined my life. Moved there in 3rd grade and didn't last until 5th because of bullying. The teachers/staff did nothing about it even when I asked them for help. Who knows how much happier and more successful I could have been if I hadn't been emotionally scarred by Hilton Head Prep. And...

Prep has been a great educational choice for our two children. As a small school is still is able to offer a lot of choices for all types of students. And if they do not have a course or an activity that a student is interested in they will try to find an alternative. The major majority of faculty a...

The School challenges students to excel in every matter. My son is in Kindergarten and He is already reading at the First Grade Level. I am very happy with the quality of education teachers provide and the sense of family towards the child.
