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. Click on the following links for a pdf file of each part of the application. Horry
County Schools does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability in its programs and
activities. |
