DEVELOPING LIFELONG LEARNERS FROM THE START
At Hilton Head Christian Academy Lower School, we believe the earliest years of a child’s education should be filled with discovery, joy, and purpose. In a safe and nurturing environment, our students build a strong foundation for intellectual, social, and spiritual growth. Through our distinctly Christian, inquiry-based learning model, young learners are encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, and make real-world connections—all while developing Christ-centered character, curiosity, and confidence.
At HHCA, inquiry-based learning in the early years engages students while sparking curiosity, introducing concepts of innovation, and developing an early sense of ownership in learning. Triggering inquiry in our students creates a healthy understanding of the world around them.
With over a decade of experience in both classroom and administrative roles, HHCA's Lower School Principal, Mrs. Dana Jenkins, is widely respected for her leadership in academic excellence, teacher development, and student engagement. She holds a B.A. in Elementary Education from Berea College and a Master’s in Administration and Supervision from Liberty University.
In HHCA’s Lower School, every child is known, loved, and challenged to grow—not only in academics, but in character and faith. We want our students to leave each day more curious, more confident, and more aware of God’s presence in their lives.
