Private Schools

Greenville Classical Academy provides an excellent education for children in K4 - 12th grade. Using a college-like schedule, the Upper School (7th - 12th grades) is the only University Model School in the Upstate. The UMS schedule prepares students to be successful in college. The teachers are caring and passionate about their subjects. Most have their masters degree. Information Meetings are available for prospective parents to learn more about the benefits of a University Model School. I definitely recommend you check the school out by viewing Greenville Classical Academy's website and also by visiting the school during an Open House.

When we were looking for a private Christian school 9 years ago, MZCS was an answer to prayer. The administrator who gave the tour, Mrs. Kimberly, was enthusiastic in her explanation of the curriculum, activities, and over all vision of the school. As for the teachers, well, I can't say enough about their dedication and love for the children. They will be missed when my son graduates this spring. Our daughter who is now a freshman in college, did extremely well when moving from MZ into high school. She made high honor roll all 4 years at MZ as well high school and graduated from JL Mann in the math magnet program with high honors as well as making deans list the first quarter of freshman year. As for my son, who started in Kindergarten has made honor roll his entire "career" at MZ and will be attending a charter high school in the fall. Both of my children served in Jr. Beta club as well as participated in sports during their middle school years. (Volleyball and basketball for my daughter and basketball and golf for my son.) We also have made lifelong friends for our entire family and also found an awesome church. If you are looking for a private education for your child, Mount Zion Christian School is an affordable and excellent option! The only bad thing I can say about MZ is that it doesn't have a high school! (Hint hint)

I go to Shannon Forest. I am in the 8th grade and if your wanting your kid to go to learn about God Mr. Burnette is one of 2 middle school bible teachers be is amazing but one thing. The answer your looking for is not in his beautiful browns. He says that if you come to Shannon you will understand what I mean.

I like this place

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. After-school 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.

My children have never been enrolled and after what I saw today they never will be! My children and I were at the Peach Lanes bowling alley today and I assume they were on a field trip there. The children were running completely wild and obviously 2 people were not enough to appropriately be in charge of the number of children they had. One older heavier set lady with long blonde wavy hair repeatedly screamed at the children, told them to "shut their mouth hole", and used the word stupid towards the children on more than one occasion. While the other dark haired younger lady (I believe her name was Erika) was on her phone a majority of the time and gave the children no proper instruction or attempted to contain the children. The children repeatedly pushed me and my children while they were running around. When a gentleman that worked at the bowling alley told the children to quit running (because their instructors were too busy with something else) they pushed passed him as well and continued to run about. Luckily none of the children got hurt and the bowling alley was empty otherwise they could have had a chase of child abduction with the poor watch the caretakers gave.

I almost failed highschool because of the careless teaching. For the love of God do not send your kids here.

I love this school and hope that it stays the way it is for along time. I am passionate for all of my teachers whom I love.

Beautiful location and nice people!

They have a great Christian view of everything but the rules are out of control

This school is such a great school to go 2

We've had a fabulous experience. Everyone on staff is professional and caring. My son has been exposed to so many learning experiences and loves going to school! I also always feel confident that he is safe.

We have been with Primrose School of Simpsonville at Five Forks since their first day and have been so happy with our decision. The areas where Primrose stands out from the rest includes: The flexibility of pickup/drop off. Unlike any other daycare we have seen in the area! Other schools usually have times around nap time that will prevent a parent from coming and going. We are in the real world as working parents and cannot work around another schedule, so this flexibility is HUGE! Also, the food for the children is provided and always has healthy options incorporated so there is no need for me to worry about my child's nutrition. Lastly, the staff is incredible! From their gentleness as a baby to their discipline taught as they grow, my child has learned so many life skills quickly which helps us at home as well.

Montessori School of Greenville is the best place for parents to send their kids if they want them to learn to think outside of the box. The math foundation at the school is the unbeatable. I am very glad that I sent my children here.

Great school this place has helped me achieve more than I thought I can.

Best Christian School Around! The staff are very loving, and caring. They truly do want your child to get the best education with Christ as the foundation. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a Christian education.

TVSG is a great school with a great curriculum. The instructors are awesome and don't teach in a "cookie cutter" fashion.
