The teachers and staff have always been incredibly supportive and encouraging for both student and parents. It's a small goldfish bowl atmosphere which is what my husband and I wanted at this stage of our children's' lives. When you show up for school events everyone knows one another and there's a sense of family. The curriculum is challenging and every year my children are reading at least three grade levels above their current grade. A class period excursion around downtown Charleston for a history lesson or off to see a play at Dock Street Theater are just some of the incredibly brilliant uses CDS employs in regards to their proximity to the historical significance of our city. Lastly, you won't find a better Spanish teacher anywhere in the state as rigorous and as encouraging as Senior Catlett. Your child will be PREPARED for high school Spanish II Honors as a ninth grader if Senior has anything to say about it. We've been blessed to have found Charleston Day School for our children's early education and development.
