INDIAN LAND, SC – Harrisburg Global Academy (HGA) officially broke ground Wednesday afternoon on its permanent campus, marking a major milestone for the growing public charter school and the families it serves.
Leadership, community members, and local supporters gathered at 1774 Harrisburg Road to celebrate the start of construction on the new three-story facility. The building will house all classrooms and laboratories, along with a combined café and gymnasium, creating a centralized and modern learning environment for students.
The new campus is designed to support HGA’s mission to focus on differentiation to improve outcomes for each individual student. They plan to deliver high-quality instruction with a strong emphasis on Spanish world language development and STEM education.
“This groundbreaking represents more than the start of construction. It reflects the vision and commitment of a community that believes in expanding educational opportunity for families in the greater Fort Mill and Indian Land community,” said Jennifer Lucas, Chief Academic Officer of Alliance Education Services. “We are excited to see this permanent home take shape and to provide a space where all students can thrive academically and develop leadership skills they need for the future.”
Harrisburg Global Academy is scheduled to open in Fall 2026, initially serving grades K–6 and expanding to grades K–8 at full enrollment. As a tuition-free, public charter school, HGA is committed to providing families with an innovative educational choice in Lancaster County.
