About Hammond | Hammond School | Columbia, South Carolina

WE PREPARE STUDENTS FOR WHATEVER COMES NEXT—WE TEACH THEM TO THINK FURTHER, REACH HIGHER, AND LEAD WITH PURPOSE. 

HAMMOND is an independent Pre-K - 12th grade private school designed to engage students in and out of the classroom, whether that means in a science lab, an art studio, or on a soccer field. We also place a premium on experiential opportunities that connect students to the world in new and unique ways. We are future-focused because, we believe, our students are the future.

MEET THE FACULTY— THE MINDS BEHIND OUR MISSION.

It’s what Hammond teachers are called to do.

They’re more than instructors—they’re mentors, motivators, and lifelong learners themselves. They understand how to meet each student where they are, identifying strengths, challenges, and passions with care and precision.

They nurture curiosity, foster empathy, and help students see their place in a larger world. At Hammond, our faculty don’t just prepare students for the future—they help them lead it.
