Our Mission
-
Spartanburg Day School is a college-preparatory, co-educational day school for students in grades pre-kindergarten through twelve. Our mission is to shape the intellectual, physical and moral development of our students in an environment that challenges, yet supports and nurtures young people. We strive to guide students in their quest for self-understanding, to foster an awareness of human worth and respect for all peoples, and to instill an ethic of service as members of the global community.
Philosophic Objectives
Focusing on a core curriculum, the school sets high academic standards while developing intellectual curiosity and independence of thought. Beyond academics, the school seeks to develop in each student maturity of judgment, self-discipline, moral character, a commitment towards community service, and good citizenship.
- Believing in the importance of athletics, the arts, and extra-curricular activities, the school provides those opportunities to promote teamwork and respect for a healthy body, to develop an appreciation for the arts, and to broaden our students’ horizons.
The Spartanburg Day School recognizes that there are differences among people, which add value to education. We promote a school culture that nurtures unity, tolerance, and respect in its diversity in order to equip its students to meet the challenges and opportunities of leading and contributing to an increasingly global society.
Through all these endeavors, the school seeks to develop in each student a positive attitude, a high self-esteem, and leadership skills as their foundation for the future. The success of the Spartanburg Day School mission requires the commitment and combined efforts of the faculty, students, parents, supporters, administration and board.
