My daughter attended from K4 through 8th grade graduation. Nativity felt like a second home for her. The small class size meant her teachers had the time to give her if she struggled with something. Everyone from the administration to every teacher to other parents treated her like family and were devoted to her success. She is now thriving in a the honors program at a Charleston County Public School because Nativity gave her such a good foundation. We feel so blessed to have found this school when she was so young. Tuition is affordable and financial aid is available and easy to apply for. The school also offers a very affordable after-school care option. I consider the investment in her education at Nativity School to be the best money we''ve spent in the last decade.
