November 2007
The Scholars Academy is now accepting applications for the 2008-2009 school year following its final middle school informational meeting. Any student who will be entering the ninth grade of an Horry County Schools (HCS) high school in the fall of 2008 is eligible to apply. Completed applications will be accepted through February 15, 2008, or until all available seats are filled. The Scholars Academy was established in 2003 through a partnership between HCS and Coastal Carolina University (CCU) 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 grade students are taught and supervised primarily by HCS 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. For more information, contact Mrs. Anita W. Huggins at 349-4117.
