I love being a part of the Carolina Prep family. We started going to Carolina Prep when our youngest child was an infant because we had not been satisfied with the level of individual care and attention that we had found at other daycare establishments, and we were searching for a better alternative for us. We have now experienced all of the pre-school rooms and several primary school classrooms as well, and continue to be happy with our choice of Carolina Prep. I smile when my youngest starts singing a song he learned in Spanish and when my oldest asks me to quiz him with math facts. I feel my kids are getting a well-rounded education from a quality faculty and staff, but of equal importance to me is that my kids enjoy going to school and are having fun learning.

This is a hidden gem. Do not judge this book by its cover. I am a local pediatrician, and I have been so impressed by the teachers and leadership at this school. Our kids were at another child care center, Park Place, before. We had some concerning safety issues with our infant son and decided to look for another school. WIthin a week of placing our infant at Carolina Prep, he ”came alive”. He was happy to be dropped off, he was more interactive. It was a stark difference for us. The teachers are incredible. All the teachers know all of the kids, and yet because of their primary teacher designation you still feel like your child is getting undivided attention. They are perfect for working families. They have tons of extracurriculars your kids can attend during the school day. They order their food from one of the healthiest restaurants in town. The students are an international mix. The focus is on your kids and what they are learning, not on aesthetics or fancy decor…and it pays off. Lee, the director, is responsive, considerate and always professional and appropriate. We truly regret not having started our kids from the beginning at Carolina Prep. Having seen most of the schools in town, we have been very pleased.

Carolina Prep is a wonderful school! My son loves his teachers and is learning so much! The school has a very “family” feel. I believe they truly care about the students and their families. I also very much appreciate the way they cater to busy professional parents. I never have any guilt dropping my son off. I know he is very well cared for and is learning more than I could teach him at home.

Our whole experience at Carolina Prep has been very positive. The entire staff is so happy to see the children each day and treats everyone with great respect. The teachers are as excited as the parents when the children reach certain goals and developmental milestones! It is a great feeling to know that our son is learning, growing, and playing in such a safe, comforting and family oriented environment. It is a pleasure to have our son enrolled at Carolina Prep!

This is an excellent preschool and elementary school born from the extraordinary vision and efforts of the staff and parents, due to the unexpected closing of Palmetto Prep school in May 2010. Within 3 months this school was up and running and it has been growing since then. The curriculum is academically challenging but the rewards are great. You realize that when the preppers learn the life cycle of the frog, and 3rd and 4th graders learn and solve problems like squares and square roots and Order of operations. The school consistently scores in the 97-99 percentile in the ITBS testing exams, which are more rigorous than the state PASS exams. My child has been there since the creation of the school and her high academic achievements are mainly due to the efforts of the teachers, Principal and support staff of the school. She is now accepted to top ranked middle schools, both public and private. The tuition is reasonable with no nickel and diming, unlike what occurs with some private schools that bait you with low fees and then charge for every little extra. The fees includes breakfast and lunch as well as extended drop off and pick up times for the preschool. Afterschool is available for primary school. If you want excellent non religious school that focuses on academics and growth of the child instead of drilling in religion into their heads, this is the school for you. The school board is made up entirely of parents of the school children, who work hard and long to make this the best preschool and elementary school in Greenville.

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!! I have been with Carolina Prep since its inception. I have a first grader and a third grader. This school has everything that I could hope for in a school. The teachers are remarkable and give wonderful attention and care. The academics cannot be beat. They have art and music as well as a very good PE teacher who teaches not only sports, but proper lifestyle and eating habits. I have compared all of the schools in the area and, to be honest, they do not compare. Carolina Prep teaches Spanish and computers starting at 2 years old! My kids love the school and it has a very family oriented, intimate feel that cannot be found anywhere else. It has a wonderfully rich cultural group with a group of parents who are obviously devoted to their children”s education. Their national scores far exceed the competition and I know students which looked into going to other schools and Carolina Prep is almost a year ahead of the rest! My first grader knows multiplication and my third grader writes in cursive, which I understand is not being taught in public school. Their hours are perfect for working parents: 6:30-6:30 and they have a lunch program as well as snacks for the little ones. Their summer programs are great too! I only hope that it can expand into middle school so that my kids can continue their education at this wonderful school! Please look into it…it can only benefit your children as well as you.

This is a wonderful school where my daughter received a great education! This is an environment that provides, besides safety and the highest competence, international and cultural enrichments, and outstanding social skills for your child. The atmosphere is familiar and the teachers focus on your child. Their programs are characterized by a big variety. After moving back to Germany, our daughter continued her school career without any problems. Instead of starting regularly at the first year of elementary school she started in the second year! She has been a student here for 2 years and loved it here. Thanks to the faculty for this great experience for her!

I have two children currently enrolled in CP’s primary school. Our experience has been outstanding. Quality teachers and small class sizes allow each student to be treated as an individual and taught accordingly. Great language arts, math and science programs. Heavy emphasis on character education/development. It is especially helpful to working parents that the school offers programming Monday through Friday – even during school holidays — from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. No scrambling for sitters for after school care or using vacation time for random holidays.

Carolina prep is like no other school. It has an excellent family atmosphere, wonderful teachers and an excellent after school program with many options for extra activities like sports or Kung fu. My two kids have been at the school for years and are excelling academically and socially.
