Stay tuned for when we announce Open House dates for the 2026-2027 school year!
Open Houses begin promptly at 8:30 a.m., following morning assembly. Parents will meet with the Head of School, hear more about HLS Charleston, and enjoy a time of questions and answers, followed by a tour of our classrooms. Most Open House visits last approximately one hour. Families may also request a student shadow day for their child on a separate date.
To attend, please register by emailing charleston@highlandslatin.org. Interested families should also complete our Family Interest Form.
Our Method
Classical
Classical education aims to teach wisdom—how to think—and virtue—what to do—through the learning of classical languages, reading classical texts, and study of the liberal arts.
Christian
Christian education anchors itself to the essentials of the Christian faith, maintaining belief in the goodness of Christian morality and the divine inspiration of the Christian Scriptures.
Traditional
Traditional education emphasizes order, discipline, and clarity, forming students through teacher-led instruction, consistent routines, and mastery of essential content in the classroom.
Accrediting body
HLS Charleston is a partner member of the Classical Latin School Association, an association of elementary and secondary schools working to promote the transmission of the culture of the Christian West.
