The school's goal is to produce young adults who graduate with the tools and the desire to keep learning throughout their lives. Individual attention and a personalized educational experience come from a low student-to-teacher ratios: 8-1 in core classes, 6-1 in math, and 1-1 in the literature program, which is based on the British tutorial method.

The school offers a personal educational experience curriculum with a particular focus on composition and literature, with standard science, history, and math classes also required.[1] Electives, which are offered on Fridays, draw on the various interests and talents of the faculty.

Some remarkable features of the student experience at Huntington-Surrey include the very small class sizes and the school days with built-in help for accomplishing homework assignments, including math homework always done in the presence of a math teacher.[2] The school is accredited by Cognia (formerly AdvancED/ Southern Association of Colleges and Schools).[3]
