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.

As a parent, I am deeply disappointed by the culture of Glenforest School. While the Student…read moreHandbook (Page 14) claims parents are welcome to visit, my attempt to follow protocol and check on my daughter was met with immediate hostility from front office staff and teachers. I was surrounded by six teachers in a 'mob-style' intervention that escalated a non-conflict into a scene. Even more concerning is the response from the Board and Principal Miller. The school's leadership used a 'silent video'--conveniently without audio--to dismiss reports of verbal aggression and unprofessionalism. There appears to be a double standard where staff members can visit their own children daily, yet involved parents are labeled 'disruptive.' If you are looking for a school that values true partnership with families, I suggest looking elsewhere."

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.
