Palmetto Charter School offers a rigorous academic program that is designed to prepare students for success in Honors and other Advanced Level classes at the high school level. We begin in our primary grades by laying a strong foundation through instruction in phonics and basic math facts. We build on this foundation with a solid literacy program involving chapter books, utilization of the Accelerated Reader program and other research based direct instruction and computer assisted programs.

Our focus on grammar instruction in 3rd – 8th grade is reaping superior results, as students are learning to write using proper sentence structure and punctuation. This commitment to Language Arts continues into middle school where students take separate Reading and English (grammar/ writing) classes. In fact, all of our Language Arts and Math classes in grades 6th – 8th are advanced classes. Eighth grade students may also take Algebra I and Spanish I for high school credit. We also offer Art, Music, Computers and Physical Education. Please visit our Clubs and Activities page for more information.

In all, we are building a school which combines high expectations, hard work, outstanding instructors and the newest technology, with the purpose of producing superior students.
