Please join us on September 2, 2025, 5:00-6:30pm for "Off to a Good Start."
Spartanburg Preparatory School combines strong academics with social and emotional development for each child. Our curriculum respects students’ developing ideas about how the world works and encourages them to question, consider and refine their understanding of the social and natural world. Our character education program is designed to help students develop skills that are central for healthy social and emotional development such as empathy, impulse control, respect, and problem-solving.
Projects will play a major role in the curriculum. Project ideas are derived from student interest. They involve investigation, expression, reinvestigation, and more expression. Projects are not done because students will be tested and graded on them; they are done because children are motivated to learn.
Each student’s daily schedule will include intervention or advancement time. SPS will provide high quality instruction and intervention matched to each students’ needs. Teachers will monitor progress frequently to make decisions about change in instruction or goals, and apply child response data to important educational decisions, such as need for remediation or advancement. Lack of progress will lead to change in intervention.
If you have any questions about academics at Spartanburg Prep, please email Principal Hannah Holmes.
