Challenging Minds, Preparing Futures
9th-12th Grade
In Upper School at Lowcountry Prep, students are empowered to take ownership of their academic journey while preparing for the challenges of college and beyond. Our rigorous curriculum, combined with personalized attention and a supportive community, ensures that each student is challenged, inspired, and equipped for future success.
A hallmark of our Upper School experience is the opportunity for students to engage in advanced coursework through a robust selection of Advanced Placement (AP) and Dual Enrollment classes, all taught on campus by our own dedicated faculty. This allows students to experience college-level material in a familiar, supportive environment while earning valuable college credit before graduation.
Throughout their Upper School years, students benefit from small class sizes, individualized instruction, and a wide range of elective courses that encourage academic exploration, creativity, and personal growth. Beyond the classroom, leadership opportunities, service projects, extracurricular activities, and athletics help students develop confidence, responsibility, and a strong sense of community.
The Upper School experience culminates in the Senior Seminar Course, a year-long course that allows each student to make a meaningful contribution to our school community beyond the classroom. The capstone experience concludes with the Marlin Legacy Speech, a special tradition where each senior presents their reflections and accomplishments to the entire school community—leaving a lasting mark on Lowcountry.
