Hammond Academics | Hammond School | Columbia, South Carolina

HERE'S WHAT WORKS FOR US:

AT HAMMOND, we believe small classes open big doors. We champion innovative learning, a global perspective, and hands-on experiences that stick.
Our teachers know their students well—what motivates them, what challenges them, and where they shine. They spark curiosity, grow empathy, and help students think beyond themselves.

That’s how we prepare tomorrow’s leaders—one student at a time.

THINKING AHEAD, REACHING BEYOND.

The world’s getting smaller. Their education should be getting bigger.

Through our Country of Study Program, students don’t just learn about a new culture—they explore it across disciplines, weaving global perspectives into history, literature, science, and the arts. Our traveling arts programs and Costa Rica field studies bring academic learning to life, immersing students in environments where classroom concepts meet real-world context.

Because when students engage with the world, they understand it more deeply—and think more critically about their place in it.

WE'RE HERE AT EVERY STAGE OF THE JOURNEY.

We see the infinite possibility in every child. One day, they’ll be ready to take on the world—but first, we nurture their innate curiosity and spark their sense of wonder. In the Lower School, that means building the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. 

In Middle School, we help students grow into confident thinkers and capable doers. They’re challenged to dig deeper and discover who they are and what matters to them.

By Upper School, they’re ready to lead—with purpose, with compassion, and a global outlook. We help them refine their voice, sharpen their thinking, and step into the world with confidence and character.
