Hebron is one of the top academic schools in the area, is firmly committed to the Advanced Placement Program, and exports many AP Scholars every year.
In 2006, seventeen Hebron students were named National Merit commended students. Thirteen went on to become National Merit Semi-Finalists, the highest number in Hebron's history, and twelve of these thirteen advanced to finalist status.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
