Murray Lasaine Elementary School

We love SASMS!!!! My daughter is in 2nd grade and has attended since kindergarten. She is excited to go each day, loves the engaging curriculum and special contests. I love how diverse the “special areas” are - she has art, music, stem, makers space, library, P.E, and second steps. Second steps focuses on emotional intelligence and understanding how other children are feeling. Her teachers each year have been unique and special. She is in classes with a children from diverse backgrounds, which is very important to us.The principal and assistant principal are engaged, and the PTA has great events, so you can meet other parents and feel a part of the community!

This school is a life changer for my daughter. The system is efficient and the staff are remarkable. They really work with the children by meeting them where they are at and have so much professionalism and compassion. They could use an update on the tardy/late system to make it easier to do from the app or via phone call without the unexcused absence announcement in the system being delayed but other than that I have nothing but great things to say.

Great schools, well organized program and always kept informed by staff and teachers of kids activities and progress.

Great school. Excellent teachers and the principal Mrs. Nancy is awesome! She is professional, caring and takes pride in her work. Definitely a wonderful learning environment for kids and teachers.

James Island Christian School is an excellent place for children to learn in a Christ centered environment. The teachers are awesome, supportive, and engaged. A high standard of character is expected at the school and the staff/administration does a good job up holding and enforcing that standard. The curriculum is challenging and engages the learning process.

Nativity School is the best kept secret in Charleston. The school and grounds are beautiful; the new entrance, offices, and gym renovation are absolutely beautiful. Our children have received a faith-based education with small classes and rigorous academics. Tutoring and other resources are available to ensure all children succeed. Tuition is manageable and financial aid is available. Our 8th grader has attended Nativity School since K4, and was just accepted into both Bishop England and Academic Magnet High Schools. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Nativity School. It will always feel like our home away from home.

I have three kids that have attended BSCS. My oldest went on to BE, my middle child is now at Academic Magnet, and my youngest is still at BSCS. The academics are excellent. My oldest transferred easily into the BE honors program, graduating in the top 10 in his class, and getting accepted at his number one, two, and third-choice schools. Going to his first choice on a full academic scholarship! I am confident his strong foundation in math and English opened up these opportunities for him. My middle child is not at AMHS and is thriving. She is excelling in all her honors and AP classes and is now recognizing just how excellent her foundations are in comparison to her peers who come from schools all over the county. My youngest is till at BSCS, and I am confident that she will have the same opportunities as my other two. So the academics are excellent.But I think they all benefited the most from the community. My son joined in middle school, and his two best friends from his first year are still his best friends. With shifts in the arts program and sports, my youngest has close friends not only in her grade but both the grades above and below her. It is a welcoming, open, and supportive environment. The academics are excellent but the community makes it unbeatable.
