Community Partnerships

The purpose of our partnership is to open and offer the world to our children; in effect, to bring opportunity to Spartanburg Day School. The city and its resources can be our laboratory. The various partnerships create a shared experience and deliver benefits to both parties. We continually create opportunities for our students that provide hands on experiences – from team building to problem solving, from communications to giving back.”Chris Dorrance - Headmaster, 2001-2012

Community Mentors

Students in the Middle and Upper School have the opportunity to participate in an extensive mentorship program, which was established and is managed by Middle School math teacher Lee Vasbinder.  Mentorships in many professional fields are available to students who wish to explore a possible career path before applying to college. The mentorships add a new dimension to the student experience. The relationships built between mentors and students have proven to be very useful for students over the years, and continue well beyond their involvement in this school program.  The following mentorships are available under the leadership of organizations that willingly share their time and expertise with our students:
