Sullivan’s Island Elementary School is a Coastal Environment Partial Magnet School. The school is part of the Charleston County School District, and it underwent renovation in 2015. There are approximately 500 students enrolled each year.
The school incorporates portable touch tanks that house different water environments within their science labs, and there are different schoolwide coastal environment themes each quarter, with a focus on sustainability.
Exploring nearby nature trails, engaging in on-campus gardening, the arts, music and Sphero robotics coding are part of the curriculum, as is a STEM, or science, technology, engineering and math, lab. A Spanish exposure program helps children learn a second language.
The 74,000-square-foot school building is perched high, overlooking the beaches and ocean. The innovative school’s location at 2014 Mike Perkis Place is one of the state’s most recognized schools. The building’s nature-inspired design goes along with the school’s coastal environmental mission.
