Charleston Collegiate School offers a challenging
and supportive educational community to prepare
hard-working students who value lifelong
learning, service and leadership.
Founded in 1970, Charleston Collegiate School is a
nonsectarian, independent K-12 college preparatory
school. The school offers a traditional liberal arts
curriculum and seeks to develop students academically,
athletically, and artistically. It is organized as Lower School
(K-5), Middle School (6-8), and Upper School (9-12).

of students in Grades K-12.
The school is accredited and is a member of the South
