Memminger Elementary School is a public school located in Harleston Village. It serves students in the Charleston School District in kindergarten through fifth grade. A sunny atrium located at the entrance welcomes teachers and students to school each day. Featured in the atrium is a display of art and exhibits that represent what students are learning across all grade levels.
In 2017, this school was awarded the distinction of being an International Baccalaureate authorized institution. The IB program provides intercultural understanding and learner profile attributes that are integrated into Memminger’s culture and climate initiatives.
The Memminger Elementary campus is located in the heart of downtown Charleston within walking distance of multiple landmarks such as King Street and the College of Charleston. It features a large playground that provides students with a place to explore and play. In partnership with the Green Heart Project, there is a raised box garden next to the playground where students can learn about gardening and grow vegetables and flowers.
