July 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Those who live in and near the small, rural community of McClellanville will be able to take advantage of a new environment-focused charter school, Cape Romain Environmental Education Charter, starting in fall 2012.

And an online school hoping to serve low-performing students is one step closer to opening that same year. Richard Milburn Academy, a proposed online charter high school, received conditional approval from the state Charter School Advisory Committee, and pending minor revisions to its application, the school will be able to move forward and request final approval to open from the state Public Charter School District Board.

Hilton Head students to join international virtual school

August 24, 2010 By Leave a Comment

A virtual, Christian school based on Hilton Head Island will welcome its first class of students next month.

The Rev. Kenny Davis, headmaster, said about 55 students from 35 states and four countries are enrolled in The Oaks Virtual Academy, a diploma-granting online middle and high school.

About a dozen of those students are local, he said.

The Oaks is opening this year after another online school based on Hilton Head closed. St. Mark’s Academy opened last fall and served students for one year.

The two academies are separate, but Davis said many of the students enrolled at The Oaks attended St. Mark’s last year. Davis, who worked at St. Mark’s before forming The Oaks, said families were unhappy with the school’s leadership.
