Hilton Head Christian Academy unveils plans to expand

From staff reports

Hilton Head Christian Academy (HHCA) unveiled plans Friday, March 1, to expand its campus amid continued high demand for the school’s collaborative inquiry-based learning model and a growing community.

HHCA will soon break ground on the construction of a 16,500-square-foot academic building. The new facility will offer 10 learning spaces, a third art studio, a new science lab, a collaborative student commons area, and a second campus cafe. It will primarily serve high school students, allowing the school to meet continued high demand in all grades.

Since moving to Bluffton in 2021, HHCA has experienced significant enrollment growth and the number of applicants continues to reach historic levels. Enrollment has jumped more than 65% since the school announced it would make the move. Its 27.7-acre campus, now home to 630 students, was designed from the ground up to accommodate growing academic, athletic, and fine arts programs.

The $7.8 million project is funded by Created to Soar, a now public fundraising campaign for which the school has already met more than 80% of its goal through private fundraising. A formal groundbreaking ceremony will be held at the site in April.

Hilton Head Christian Academy (HHCA) is an independent Christian school serving families in Kindergarten through 12th grade offering comprehensive academics, athletics and fine arts programs. Learn more at hhca.org
