Success For All Students
NATIVITY SCHOOL
W
hen the time comes to send your child to
school, a wide variety of options throughout the
Lowcountry are available. Education is paramount,
of course, but other types of growth are important as well.
Since its inception in 1960, Nativity School has been
encouraging the intellectual, spiritual
and physical growth of young
children between pre-kindergarten and eighth grade. Nativity
School serves students from the Church of the Nativity
on James Island, Holy Spirit on Johns Island and Our
Lady of Good Counsel on Folly Beach, as well as from the
surrounding community.
“Generations of families have sent their children to Nativity
School for the academic excellence and nurturing environment,
which is our tradition,” Principal Patti Dukes commented.
The style of teaching at Nativity, according to Dukes,
“focuses on the whole child.” She pointed out that
classroom instruction centers on the student and encourages
individuals to meet their unique potential. In addition to a
well-rounded academic environment, the school employs a
nature trail, obstacle course and outside classroom for other
learning opportunities.
“The outdoor classroom gives teachers and students
opportunities for exploration and expanding knowledge,”
Dukes pointed out.
Nativity School recently incorporated a new program
known as ASPIRE (Achieving Student Potential in a
Resourceful Environment) in an effort to include students
with diverse learning styles within the regular classroom and
“to support the success of all students.”
“Nativity School totally prepared me for the academic
rigors of high school,” commented recent graduate Marisa
Giuliani. “And the values that I learned at Nativity School
prepared me for serving my community.”
With a curriculum focusing on the overall growth of each
child, it’s no wonder Nativity School shines above the rest.
