Scholars Academy
The Scholars Academy was established in 2003 through a partnership between Horry County Schools and
Coastal Carolina University to provide advanced learners with a quality education in a supportive learning
environment. Its mission is to educate these students at the rate and with the level of academic rigor
commensurate with their abilities so that they graduate as confident, responsible, lifelong learners who are
prepared to succeed in higher education and in the world beyond. Ninth and tenth graders are taught and supervised
primarily by Horry County Schools teachers with some integration into college courses. Eleventh and twelfth graders
take a combination of Advanced Placement and college courses taught by HCS teachers and CCU professors and attend
most classes with college students. Students graduate with a high school diploma and as much as two years of college
course credits.
