The Heathwood Hall Approach

Why Heathwood

At Heathwood Hall, education is about more than academics — it’s about nurturing the whole child. Our unique blend of personalized instruction, community values, and expansive campus creates an environment where students grow intellectually, socially, spiritually, and emotionally.

Whole-Child Experience

Rooted in Episcopal traditions and guided by a commitment to personal growth, Heathwood inspires students to develop academically, athletically, artistically, and spiritually.

 

Standard of Excellence

All children bring different talents and different challenges. We believe that every child has the potential for academic excellence in a supportive and empowering learning environment.

 

Engaged, Ethical Citizenship

Often described as a “school with a soul,” Heathwood teaches students to think critically and creatively, develop leadership and social skills, and, most importantly, put service to others above self-interest.

 

Collaborative Learning

Interaction between older and younger students is a hallmark of the Heathwood Hall experience. Learning, playing, and serving together creates a strong sense of community among students ages 2 to 18.

Personalized Attention

With a 9:1 student-to-teacher ratio, our passionate, award-winning faculty ensures every student receives the support and challenge they need to thrive. Heathwood has earned more SCISA Teacher of the Year honors than any other independent school in the Midlands.

 

Expansive 122-Acre Campus

Our students learn in a setting that encourages exploration, reflection, and wellness. From outdoor classrooms to wooded trails, the natural environment plays a vital role in building curiosity and resilience.

 

Episcopal Foundations

Our culture of service, commitment to moral development, and living Honor Code reflect our Episcopal values. We’re not just shaping smart students — we’re shaping compassionate, ethical leaders.

 

Commitment to Safety

Since 2018, Heathwood has employed a full-time School Resource Officer, Master Deputy Josh Albins. His proactive leadership helps us maintain a secure, responsive, and prepared campus environment.
