Very close-knit and accepting community, albeit somewhat clique-y at times. The teachers are down-to-earth yet challenge their students. Sometimes though, the school values the years spent teaching over a teacher's actual teaching skill. It is a competitive environment in which students are expected to strive for their best, but class sizes are small which allow for more personal help.

I graduated in 2015 from the Spartanburg Day School and completed grades 7-12 at SDS. This place was such a warm community for me. I was appreciated as an individual, a student, a leader, and a friend. I found leadership roles in the Upper School that truly helped me mature and grow. As a rising jun...
