Welcome to Charleston Day School. We’re delighted to introduce you to our warm and welcoming campus located in the heart of historic Charleston, South Carolina, where students in kindergarten through grade 8 are challenged, inspired, and engaged each day.
Fostering a love for learning, the desire to excel, and the value of goal setting and responsibility are paramount to the lower school program.
Because middle school students are the oldest members on campus, middle school students focus on the younger students, not high school concerns.

Because middle school students are the oldest members on campus, middle school students focus on the younger students, not high school concerns. They serve as role models for the younger children, and that realization imbues them with a sense of purpose and responsibility.
Our K-8 grade structure offers many advantages for students. Although opportunities to develop leadership skills are available in any grade, it is the older grades where there is an emphasis on taking responsibility and stepping into a mentor role for our younger students. Students can be members of our Student Council, run for red or blue team captain, or act as a role model to a ‘Little” in the younger grades.
Two important beliefs are at the heart of our teaching philosophy: social emotional development is inextricably linked with academic achievement, and experiential learning creates a foundation for deeper understanding.
Charleston Day School maintains high academic standards while addressing each student’s individual learning styles and interests. As a result, a graduate is self-aware with the skills necessary for high school.
A CDS graduate is advanced academically, particularly in the subjects of math, language arts, and world language. CDS students have presence, look you in the eye, and shake your hand. They are adept at speaking to a variety of audiences or individuals, and they are leaders and role models who are contributing members to their community.

We hope you will join us for one of our Open Houses, “The CDS Experience”. We offer several dates throughout the fall. During an Open House event you will hear from our Head of School, Director of Enrollment, and have the chance to speak to a panel of students about their CDS experience!
We invite you to come see us at 15 Archdale Street. During your visit you will get to know our teachers and students as we walk the halls and see them in action. You will find Charleston Day to be a welcoming, engaging and energizing environment!
