The environment is different from anything I have ever experienced at any school and I am only sorry my oldest daughter missed out on the opportunity to go here . I hope many other students will get to experience a environment like this where your child actually is seen and noticed and cared about .

My family and I moved to SC a few years ago and we are thrilled our son is part of Gray. My son is thriving here, way better than any school he went to prior. Any time I have had any concern, the staff have been amazing in helping me remedy the situation. I will continue to recommend Gray Collegiate Academy.

I've been in Lexington district 2 for my education and there is one thing that I have to say. They…read morewere bad. I did not like this district. I begged my mom to go to district one. At district two they changed ALL of the school food to wheat. What if you were allergic to wheat. Well I guess you do not eat. I am allergic to wheat so i had to bring my own lunch. The lucks were cold and not good even before they switched to wheat. I mean wheat EVERYTHING, from pizza to pasta and even wheat tacos, well just the shell. They have fat free milk, and of course fruit like all schools have. But seriously I got sick just smelling the wheat food in the middle and high school cafeteria. When I switched from lexington two to homeschool or online school they FINALLY SWITCHED TO TABLETS!! AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF TEXTBOOKS THEY FINALLY SWITCHED TO TABLETS!! My back was bad and it still is today because of lexington two making us students to carry old school textbooks. Im not saying I hate them but they needed to step up their game with education and how the students wants to learn. This is the 21st century and it was time for this district to go digital instead of analog.

LOVE THIS SCHOOL!…read more This is the school both of my kids go to. It's a virtual, online public school. My kids are in 10th and 12th grade and are EXCELLING at this school. Their last "brick and mortar" school left much to be desired and I am so thankful we found SCCA. The teachers are so helpful and truly care about the students and their needs, success, and the education they are getting. I have never had a problem with contact from the teachers or administration - they are prompt to return my calls/emails, and stay in touch with me and the kids over the phone. The variety of learning materials are essential to this school's success. There are actual textbooks/workbooks, as well as online ones. The lessons/activities are interactive and interesting. There are "live lessons" that take place in a virtual classroom where the teacher and students come together at a set time to have reviews and Q&As. There is an internal "webmail" system for the teachers and staff to communicate with the students and parents as well as allowing the students to talk with each other and make connections/friends. There is a message board FULL of info. Field trips are scheduled regularly for all age groups. There are extra-curricular opportunities with the Clubs program such as "Pens & Lens", the school magazine the kids put together, or the Robotics Club, Pen Pals, Student Leadership Club, and many, many more. My son was failing his first 2 years of "regular" high school. He is now a "B" student, on his way to graduating. My daughter faced peer pressures, drama, and even sexual harassment in her old school. She's now on the right path, in a safe environment, and doing well. I am very happy with SCCA and highy recommend it.
