As a parent of two graduates and one current student, I could not be more pleased with Charleston Day School. It is a family-oriented K-8 school in downtown Charleston. The focus on character development produces not just advanced learners ready for the challenges of high school, but the graduates are instilled with integrity and a sense of personal responsibility.
