Green World School

Its been a very long time since my grandson went to this school. I cannot say enough about the level of education and head start they gave my grandson. He's a junior in high-school now and is in the top 10 of his school. He's always been a honor student, however, I feel the start kids get how they succeed. He's going to be a Geologist. Enroll your students you wont regret it.

GWS is wonderful! Our child was only there for 7 months before aging out to kindergarten, but we have loved this school from the start. It’s a small class size, focus on nature, but also teaching math, writing, Spanish skills, and more! You will not regret sending your children here. ♥️

Both of my children attended GWS and we couldn't have been happier with the environment or teachers. The emphasis on nature and community helped my kids develop into compassionate individuals. They spent countless hours outside playing, gardening, caring for pets, creating art, practicing Spanish, making healthy snacks, and more. The inside environment was peaceful with a mix of individual play and group work (e.g., instruction, singing). We are so grateful for the lasting positive impact of this school on our family.

All three of my children had the privilege of spending their formative years at Green World School, and I can honestly say it was one of the greatest gifts we could have given them. The environment is calm, peaceful, and intentionally designed to let children be children — to explore, create, and play freely. My kids spent countless hours outdoors, whether tending to the garden, making and enjoying healthy snacks they helped prepare, or simply letting their imaginations run wild in nature. The emphasis on outdoor learning and hands-on experiences is something I deeply appreciated and still see the benefits of today. The staff is nothing short of incredible. Every teacher is attuned to each child’s unique needs and knows how to truly connect with them. They foster an environment where kids feel safe expressing themselves fully and confidently. The education style — a thoughtful blend of Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies — nurtures curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. The School Director, Marissa, is a gift in herself. Her deep knowledge of child development shaped not only how my children grew but also how I grew as a parent. She mentored me throughout our time at the school and has continued to offer guidance even years after we graduated. That says everything about the heart and dedication of this community. Green World School is more than just a preschool — it’s a sweet, tight-knit community that feels like home. I only wish I could have kept my kids there even longer. The foundation they built at Green World continues to benefit them in so many ways. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

We have been absolutely thrilled with our experience at Green World School! Our daughter comes home every day so excited to tell us about her day. She talks about her school friends all the time and loves to tell us stories about what they do during the day. I can tell by these stories that she is very active and stimulated throughout the day, and that she knows her teachers are there for her for anything she needs. The staff are all amazing and so sweet and we know our girl is well taken care of. Childcare in Charleston is so difficult, we’ve been waitlisted time and time again. Green World School was an answer to our prayers when we really needed it and we are so thankful to be a part of their community!
