The Lower School (K-5) enrolls students in a traditional elementary program that uses a variety of experiential learning activities and emphasizes critical thinking skills while teaching students to read, write, and understand mathematical functions and problems. The Middle School (6-8) includes a departmental program to strengthen basic skills and further develop critical thinking, and develops greater academic responsibility and disciplined work habits. Both Lower and Middle School students enjoy a wide variety of enrichment classes each week, including art, music, Spanish, library, computer, PE, and health. The Upper School (9-12) offers Honors classes in English, mathematics, science, social sciences, and Spanish; Advanced Placement classes are offered in English, US History, U.S. Government, and Chemistry. Seniors also have the option of enrolling in dual credit courses offered through the University of South Carolina at Salkehatchie. Middle and Upper School students participate in an activity and/or club each day, with choices ranging from chorus to chess club. The affective curriculum includes both grade sponsor and academic advisory programs that focus on service, leadership, commitment to community spirit, and social-emotional growth.
