A Tradition of Learning

A Hargrave education features the finest academics in a military boarding academy setting. Tough, thorough Academic instruction is a Hargrave tradition stretching back to our founding in 1909. It is not uncommon for our graduates to experience easier lessons in their freshman/sophomore college coursework, than during their years at Hargrave.

A Hargrave graduate is well prepared for success at the college level. Rigorous instruction in the standard core subjects of English, math and science significantly enhance a student’s SAT scores while preparing them for a multitude of challenges in different collegiate disciplines.

Academic Program

Grades 9-12 feature a college preparatory program. Students take six subjects and attend three subjects per day, alternating those subjects with the following day. The Academic day also allows students time to meet with their teachers should they have questions or difficulties in a particular subject area. The night prior to class, all students are required to attend study hall, which is mentored by the Hargrave faculty and staff.

Hargrave Post-Graduate (PG) Cadets gain the time to focus on critical English and math SAT skill in their first post-high school year. It also allows time for students to increase their grade point average to build a stronger high school transcript.

Students are assigned to academic classes based on their academic goals, their grade performance and the results of achievement tests administered upon arrival. The average class size is 11:1.

Diplomas

Hargrave offers two types of diplomas, a Hargrave Diploma and a Hargrave Advanced Studies Diploma.

To earn a Hargrave Diploma, a student must complete 22 credits: English, 4; mathematics, 3; science, 3; social studies, 3; computer application, .5; health, 1; fine arts/practical arts, 1; Bible, 1; military 1; and electives, 4.5.

To earn a Hargrave Advanced Studies Diploma, a student must complete 24 credits: English, 4; mathematics, 4; science, 4; social studies, 4; foreign language, 3; health, 1; fine arts/practical arts 1; computer application, .5; Bible, 1; military, 1; and electives, .5.

Bible Study

The required course in Bible, which students take during the senior year, provides a general survey of the Old and New Testaments. The military grade is specific to a Cadet’s over-all behavior. Electives include a variety of classes designed to meet students interests and provide exploratory learning experiences.

Reading Comprehension

Hargrave is known for its strong reading program. The program is offered to any student who wants to become more proficient in reading, regardless of present reading level. A student’s reading skills are tested upon entering Hargrave, and those who want to participate in the reading program are grouped according to their scores.
