Welcome to Hancock!
Hancock is a unique and happy place where children and adults learn, grow, and have fun together. We hope you enjoy learning about our people, programs, and campus.
Our Mission
Hancock Day School develops the whole student by instilling values, knowledge, and skills to become an independent, self-reliant, lifelong learner with the strength of character to make positive contributions in our ever-changing world.
Hancock is the only independent, nonsectarian PreK-eighth grade school in the Savannah area. We serve 450 students and remain committed to our founding principles.
Hancock is a nonsectarian and faith-inclusive community that recognizes the importance of spiritual development for our students, faculty, staff, and families. Our Judeo-Christian principles are the foundation of The Hancock Way and provide a moral foundation that honors the dignity of all people, the importance of integrity, and a call to serve others. We open school gatherings and the start of each day with the Pledge of Allegiance and the non-denominational Hancock prayer that invokes God’s name.
Dear God, Come with me to school. Be with me in my lessons and my play. Help me to be friendly and thoughtful, respectful to my teachers, careful in my studies, and like You in my words and deeds. Amen.
The Hancock Prayer
The Hancock Way
