The Upper School Experience
The Upper School offers a distinctive balance of innovative learning opportunities and time-honored academic practices. Serving students in grades 9 through 12, the Upper School provides a challenging yet highly supportive educational environment focused on preparing each student with self-awareness and self-confidence.
Marked by small classrooms and academic programs that emphasize inquiry and interactive learning, the Upper School gives students the ability to pursue a highly-individualized course of study that flexes as they exercise choice, find their emergent gifts and voices, and refine their longer-term goals throughout late adolescence. However, the educational experience of the Upper School extends beyond this rigorous academic focus, offering students ample opportunities to explore their curiosities and creative talents, participate in athletic and arts programs, and engage in various activities that help develop rewarding relationships, leadership character, and community impact.

Preparing Students for Lifelong Success
The CCES Upper School is one of South Carolina's premier independent high schools and is recognized for providing students with an engaging and supportive environment that challenges them intellectually, socially, spiritually, and physically. The Upper School builds on the strong academic foundations established in the Lower School and Middle School, while motivating each student to pursue his or her fullest potential, both in and beyond the classroom.
