The Hardeeville South Campus contains two public schools: Hardeeville Elementary (grades K-5) and Hardeeville-Ridgeland Middle School (grades 6-8). The [[Ridgeland-Hardeeville High School]] in [[Ridgeland, South Carolina|Ridgeland]] receives high school students who live in the city and all of Jasper County. Additional schools are planned in the future through development agreements signed by private developers and the city.

A fair number of schoolchildren living in and around Hardeeville attend [[Royal Live Oaks Academy of Arts & Sciences]], a public charter school under the [[South Carolina Public Charter School District]]. Opened in August 2012, the school is just beyond the city limits and serves grades K-12. A new school facility for the charter school is expected to be complete in 2015. Private schools in the area include [[Thomas Heyward Academy]], which was founded as a [[segregation academy]], in Ridgeland and St. John Paul II Catholic School in [[Okatie, South Carolina|Okatie]].

The Hardeeville Community Library is a branch of the Allendale-Hampton-Jasper Regional Library system and serves residents in Hardeeville and southern Jasper County.

Both the [[University of South Carolina Beaufort]] South Campus and the [[Technical College of the Lowcountry]] New River Campus are located just outside the city limits in Beaufort County.
