I respectfully disagree with Sarah M.'s review suggesting the school lacks a culture of enthusiastic and disciplined learning--our experience has been quite the opposite. The teachers and staff are genuinely welcoming. They greet students by name each morning and cultivate an environment where learning is both enjoyable and meaningful. Students are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones through hands-on, creative projects that spark curiosity and confidence. One standout feature is the Outdoor Education Class (OEC) taught by Mr. Spann. Held entirely outdoors, it offers students a much needed break from traditional classroom routines while still providing valuable learning experiences. We've also had the opportunity to attend several student exhibitions this year, where kids proudly present their projects to parents and staff. It's been inspiring to see our daughter's growth and excitement. From a safety standpoint, which is extremely important to us, there is a security guard on campus, locked buildings, and attentive staff throughout the campus whenever we've visited. Most importantly, being of another religion, my daughter felt welcomed and safe at Charleston Collegiate which cannot be said about her previous private school. Charleston Collegiate may not be the right fit for every family, but if your child thrives in a non-traditional setting and would benefit from a more diverse and dynamic educational experience, this school is certainly worth considering.

The location is very easy to get in and out of, with visitor and staff parking in the front, overflow on one side. There is a guard on Camp Road when school is in session to direct traffic and ensure safety of the students. The office area is very welcoming and there is local art on all of the walls. The cafeteria is large with many tables. The playground is around back, so you don't have to worry about cars with the kids. The library is where we have been voting recently since it is not a primary yet. It seems a little small but with all of the on-line resources available now, it is probably adequate for current enrollment. The campus is always clean and feels safe. I would not have concern for kids who attend this location as it seems to be in good condition and is very well maintained.
