Parent of a Lower School Student
I love the small student/teacher ratio and feel my children get the one-on-one time with their teachers to reach their educational goals and exceed beyond their expectations.
Parent of an Upper School Student
Lowcountry Prep allows my daughter to be confident in who she is without the social pressures of a larger school. The teachers are energetic, engaging and truly care about the students.
Parent of an Upper School Student
Walking into the school the first time left me with a sense of family. One year later, there is still that feeling; in fact, more so now that you realize your children are important to them.
