The O'Quinn Schools of Porter-Gaud strive to develop young minds by inspiring curiosity and creativity to impact lifelong learning. Through nurturing and encouragement, children express themselves as individuals in preparation for future educational success.
The school serves students from age two through Kindergarten.
O'Quinn Schools' curricular and extracurricular programs
provide a nurturing environment fostering each child`s self-worth
and potential for endless growth. The teachers instill a love of
learning fueled by guidance and encouragement in support of our
mission to develop young minds by inspiring curiosity and
creativity to impact lifelong learning.
Our goal is to help each child develop individually and at
their own pace. We encourage learning through play and by
capitalizing on their natural curiosity. Our age-appropriate
programs are designed to develop creativity, introduce new skills,
and expand their knowledge of the world around them. Teachers at
all levels from our students in the twos through our Kindergarten
program encourage group cooperation, listening skills,
responsibility, and fun.
The O'Quinn Schools are part of Porter-Gaud School, an
independent, co-educational day school serving more than 1,000
students in grades 1-12.
The unhelpful and assuming attitude at O`quinn not impressed us when we applied to their program. We have an academically advanced child and wanted to speak directly with the head of the school or director of admissions to see if O`quinn would be a good fit for our child. When we emailed and called to request additional information, they did not get back to us in a timely fashion. We then came to the school one day to see if we could talk with the director of admissions. We could see that she was sitting at her desk, but instead of speaking with us, she sent the secretary out to tell us that admission decisions would be made in two weeks. I had to tell them that we were not looking for an admission decision;We were looking to decide between O`quinn and Ashley Hall and wanted more information. The assumption and lack of helpfulness appalled us, and so we immediately withdrew our application as O`quinn was not the school that we would choose for our child. We have been happy and impressed by Ashley Hall and would highly recommend them.
