DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. They are unsupportive of students and parents. When you ask for help on how to use tools like Canvas, they will not respond, even when asked several times. As a parent you will have a hard time getting direct communication from the Guidance Counselors. They are too busy dealing with bad students to help you, even if new to the district. The teachers are inexperienced and even possibly not accredited to teach in their fields. They do not have any meaningful electives. The children can be violent. There is lots of fighting on campus.

This elementary school is amazing. The teachers care, but not only that- the principal and other staff do too! I would also like to give a special thanks to the Assistant Pricipal: Angela Ensley. She is the backbone of that school. She works so hard to make it the great school it is. Thank you Angela!

Carolina Day School continues to be life-changing for our family. Our child came to CDS in Middle School and is now in Upper School. Before we came to CDS, school was a constant struggle and honestly, pure drudgery for our child. Being in our fourth year now I can say that my child loves it as much, if not more, than when she first started. CDS is the ideal school for our child because the environment is safe, the instruction is intentional and the setting fosters growth in an inclusive community. We’ve seen the tangible differences in our child’s outlook on education, which has been completely transformative.We believe one of the reasons for this transformation is that the school makes learning fun. I continue to be amazed at the creative, experiential learning activities the teachers provide to ensure engagement and cement learning. The staff are innovative and cultivate a genuine connectedness with the students. At each grade level, it has been my experience that every teacher has been incredibly kind, attentive, but also firm when needed. It is the perfect mix that we had been seeking and finally found. Carolina Day School encourages students to take the initiative, make decisions, and be accountable for their results while simultaneously engaging them intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. My one and only regret is that we didn’t make the move sooner.
