Welcome to Southern Guilford Academy!

    Southern Guilford Academy

    The Southern Guilford Academy offers programs in three strands; Health Sciences, Agriscience, and Education.  The SG Academy is designed to give highly motivated students the chance to pursue a focused education and career path through specialized courses in the student selected strand.  The Academy is a unique environment that allows students to engage in a  rigorous course of study while exploring academic, career, and personal interests as they prepare to continue their formal education at the  post-secondary level.  

    Academy students are required to take honors and AP level courses, including at least 1 AP math and 1 AP science during their 4 years at SG. 

    Because Southern Guilford is a traditional high school, students get to participate in the strand of their choice while enjoying all the benefits a traditional high school setting has to offer.
