We couldn't be happier with Hilton Head International Bac. This is one of the few elementary schools that offers challenging immersion courses in both Chinese and Spanish. More importantly, they focus on teaching children to accept new cultures and ideas. Our daughter was allowed to start a difficult Chinese immersion class mid-year and was given a warm welcome despite being the new kid from a European country who spoke a foreign language. She was greeted with enthusiasm and curiousity. The teachers are excellent, the principal and school staff are well organized and do a great job keeping parents informed and involved. I've read a couple of reviews from other parents who like to refer to their children as "gifted" or in the top "%" who seem to have unrealistic expectations of special treatment for their kids. Hilton Head IB provides quality education to all of it's students. If you want a well balanced child who develops excellent communication skills and a broader understanding for how the world works I would strongly recommend Hilton Head International Bac. If you want to obsess over your child getting special treatment maybe you should have them pampered in a private school.

This is my cerint school it's fine

Our daughters transitioned into Hilton Head Island Middle school as 7th and 8th Graders. Our first contact was with admin, who were all extremely helpful and gracious (and continue to be so), followed by our girls’ guidance supervisors, who showed exemplary due diligence and professionalism in assessing transcripts from their previous school, communicating with us, and ensuring the girls progressed into their correct classes.The girls’ Advisory teachers are patient and caring. My one daughter can be nervous and likes to do the right thing - on the first day of school, she was quite anxious, and her advisory teacher spotted this characteristic and took time to appreciate her help and compliment her. A small thing, but it meant a lot to my daughter, and resulted in her happily looking forward to school the following day. My other daughter is more gregarious, and was utterly wow-ed by her fabulous and wonderfully enthusiastic Advisor. Their subject teachers, in all their different ways, are excellent, motivating and engaging. Overnight, my daughter switched from being a student learning Spanish, to a student loving Spanish. My science-loving kid adores her teacher and rushes home every day to tell me of a new thing she has learned. The English curriculum is comprehensive; the hard copy text-book, combined with the digital reading platform, complement each other excellently. Their math teachers kindly offer extra help in the morning before school (if they need it). All teachers are clear and helpful in their communications. I am really incredibly grateful. Every day, I am watching my girls happily excel and grow at this school. They have made friends quickly. They are studying enthusiastically, learning to capacity, and, most importantly, they look forward to school every day. The IB program is a bonus to us - an easily recognised international qualification - as both of the girls would like to attend university in Europe. We are beyond delighted to have found a positive and rigorous learning environment in which our girls can successfully and cheerfully see out their school years.
