The standard
of curiosity.
Our Story
Hawking Academy of Science was founded on a straightforward observation: gifted, motivated, and intellectually curious students in Florida were being held back by the pace and limitations of conventional schooling.
We built a private school environment that combines the flexibility of individualized instruction with the rigor, structure, and credentialing of a formal college preparatory institution. Our students progress through a comprehensive curriculum, from foundational high school courses to Honors-level depth and CLEP credit pathways, within a single, cohesive academic program.
Based in Viera, Florida, we serve students across the region and beyond, providing the academic infrastructure that high-achieving students deserve.
Mission
To provide academically motivated students with a rigorous, individualized college preparatory education that transcends the boundaries of traditional schooling.
Vision
A generation of graduates who enter college ahead: academically, intellectually, and financially. Proven in a university environment before they ever leave high school.
School Leadership
Hawking Academy of Science operates under the direct academic oversight of its Head of School, ensuring rigorous standards across curriculum, student planning, and institutional accountability.
