Experience the Griffin Difference in Person

Choosing a school is about more than programs and facilities. It is about finding a place where your child feels known, challenged, supported, and inspired. We invite you to visit Spartanburg Day School and experience firsthand what makes our independent 2K through 12th grade community so special.

As the only school in the Upstate of South Carolina offering a continuous 2K through 12th grade education all on one campus, SDS provides a connected learning journey that grows with your child every step of the way.
