We are the first and only 100% scholarship-funded, Christ-centered private school in South Carolina.
CCS makes accessible a high-quality classical education to students from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds residing in the underserved neighborhoods of North Charleston, SC.
Charleston Classical School is a classical Christian school. By
"classical," we mean that students will focus on learning classical
content that empower them to think logically and independently. It
also means students will be taught by classical methods. Teachers
will focus on foundational skills. Those skills will become tools
of learning. Students can then become curious lifelong learners who
recognize and love Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. Classical studies
help students learn and live the virtuous life.By "Christian," we
do not simply mean that there will be Bible lessons, although Bible
instruction will be included in a CCS education. Rather, because
the primary purpose of education is moral formation, the school's
entire culture and curriculum will integrate Christian thinking.
This helps students understand both WHO they are, as well as WHY
they exist. The result? They can love God and their neighbor well.
We pray that they will grow in wisdom and stature as well as choose
to love God with all their mind, soul, heart, and strength and to
love their neighbors as themselves.
We explore the key elements contributing to the success of leading private schools, highlighting the importance of strong leadership, a rich legacy, and a focus on comprehensive learning experiences.
