Grandparents get the chance to watch their grandchildren select books that they find enjoyable and pay for their selections. I included some photos and I hope you enjoy them.

These students (all 503 at last count) score higher than the state average in math and reading compared to comparable statewide schools. The teacher to student ratio is great. My daughter attended school here during her elementary school days and we were well pleased with the results. We had many interactions with the teachers and they met or exceeded our expectations. This is a learning center focused on excellence. Grassy Pond elementary is most definitely a credit to Cherokee County, S.C.

I went to the Day school for 2 years. It took a toll on my mental health. We would have HOURS of…read morehomework almost everyday. The teachers are amazing. But most the kids who go here are just rich kids who get whatever they want. Most people would say that it's a very tight net community but truly you will be left out if you are slightly different from others. Also I felt like staff didn't even try and get to know me and would just assume things about me. I am switching to online next year due to how much anxiety this school has caused me. I do not recommend this school to any parents if your child feels like they struggle to fit in with others.

This is an amazing school! The teachers are enthusiastic and the classes are amazing! I used to…read moreattend this school when I was in 1-3 grade, and of the six schools I've been to so far in my learning career, I have to say this is the best school I've been to. I cannot put into words how fun and energetic the environment of the school is. There are many fun pep rallies and activities that keep the school learning and having fun while they're doing it. I highly suggest visiting them if you're looking to find a school to go attend. The grades go from Kindergarden to High School, so it works for any grade you or your child are in.

SCA exists as a ministry of First Baptist Church of North Spartanburg. We join with our parents in encouraging our students to be lifelong disciples of Christ through the missions of Evangelism, Discipleship, Giving and Prayer. Our faculty and staff strive to lead each student to experience a personal saving relationship with Christ. The Bible is God's inerrant Word and is the basis of all instruction and the test of all truth. God has not made, and He doesn't maintain, anything in the world that is without meaning and beauty. It is our task and our goal to seek the knowledge and understanding of that meaning and beauty through intellectual and spiritual endeavor. We promote academic excellence and critical thinking throughout the teaching of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, equipping students to live Godly lives in a global society. Our school teaches honor of the body as the temple of God. As basic doctrines of the Christian faith are taught, students are challenged to apply the principles learned to daily living. As God's stewards, each student is encouraged to make wise use of time and to use material things for the glory of God.

After moving unexpectedly back to Asheville from Los Angeles, we were in desperate need to get our…read more3 year old into a great preschool. We spent almost a year touring preschools in Los Angeles and then almost another year getting accepted into one of the best ones, which was in extremely high demand. In Asheville, there were fewer options comparatively. We toured several schools that had been highly regarded by different friends but as soon as we went to Roots + Wings School of Art and Design and met Ginger Huebner, the founding director, we were sold. The school was not only the perfect fit for our 3 year old and our family, but after attending a semester, it easily exceeded the ridiculously hard to get into school we were excited to attend in Los Angeles. Roots + Wings is a beautiful blend of creative art driven education with just the right amount of structure, set in a truly wonderful space to learn and grow. Throughout his first semester at Roots and Wings, our son grew so much - emotionally and intellectually. By giving him a comfortable and positive space to explore art and his surroundings, he learned problem solving, interpersonal skills with other children and teachers, and became much more independent. Most importantly, he had a blast doing it all. When we picked him up from school, he was always so excited to show and tell us all the amazing things they'd done that day. The kids created incredible art projects, had animals in the classroom, played music and had plenty of outdoor time. Our teachers were incredible - it's clear that Ginger is very careful when selecting who will be working at her school. The classrooms themselves are also beautiful. Tons of natural light fill every corner, the design and choice of every element in their classroom from the furniture to the wall colors to the flooring is spot on. Roots + Wings feels like a school you'd read about in Sweden (to be fair, the décor at Roots and Wings is Scandinavian modern). Ginger beautifully conceived our end-of-semester celebration, with all the kids artwork and projects elegantly displayed and a sweet and poignant ceremony. Overall we couldn't be happier with Roots + Wings and if you're looking for a creatively stimulating environment with just the right amount of structure for your preschool aged kids, I'm sure you'll love Roots + Wings as well. We can't wait for the next semester to start and for our other kids be old to enough to start attending!!
