School Reviews
| 5 I graduated in 2015 from the Spartanburg Day School and completed grades 7-12 at SDS. This place was such a warm community for me. I was appreciated as an individual, a student, a leader, and a friend. I found leadership roles in the Upper School that truly helped me mature and grow. As a rising junior in college, I have found that my education at SDS more than prepared me for a college workload. I learned how to manage my time with my studies and extracurriculars as a high school student. This is an invaluable skill.I am currently interning at the Day School during my summer off from my studies. I feel as though I never left. I hope this is a testament to how much I appreciate this community. - Posted by Student/Alumni - classof2015 |
| 5 My daughter has been at SDS since 4K and she will be entering 4th grade next year. I have been so impressed with the advanced curriculum, the quality teachers and with the small class size. In 4K, she went to PE 4 days a week, art 2x a week, and library, Chinese, Computer (Mac Lab) and Music all 1x a week. She could count from 1 to 100 in Chinese at the age of 4...In 3rd grade, she learned the skeletal system and the basics of Algebra in a math/science based class called Frontiers. In addition, she has developed so much confidence. The teachers encourage the kids to ask questions and to be inquirers at such a young age, that very little intimidates them...What a wonderful environment! I look forward to her middle and upper school years at SDS. In addition,their endowed art program is amazing! - Posted by Parent - cobbb |
