The mission of SC Whitmore School is to provide a high-quality education to students across South Carolina and graduate self-sufficient learners who excel at using technology to further their understanding of the world. Our vision is to inspire innovation and create opportunities for students beyond high school through the power of online learning.
Our school’s educational philosophy guides our daily activities. We believe that all students are capable of learning, and learning must be a personalized process. SC Whitmore School is ideal for students to develop an individualized pathway, in order to reach world-class knowledge and skills.
As an online school based in South Carolina, our flexible platform allows students to access courses 24 hours a day, seven days a week, while also enabling students to align their coursework with their personal post-secondary goals. Our school has no semesters and offers an extended school year, which permits students to balance short-term and long-term goals and to also manage their workload efficiently. Students also develop the skills to monitor, define, prioritize, and complete tasks. SC Whitmore School also seeks to develop the whole student, by providing opportunities outside of academics, such as clubs and field trips.
SC Whitmore School teaches students to advocate for themselves, to conduct meaningful research in various areas, to manage their time effectively, and to set goals that are rigorous and obtainable. Our graduates leave us ready to attend colleges and universities worldwide. Our 2019 graduates were awarded over $755,000 in scholarships to continue their education and training. Many students are able to complete high school in three or fewer years, which allows them to get a head start on college and/or career. According to the College Freshmen Report, 95% of our students from the 2019-2020 class entering a 2 or 4 year post-secondary institution passed 95% of their classes, At SC Whitmore School we believe that all students deserve “School Your Way.” All students can learn when given the opportunity and support. Our students graduate with world-class skills and knowledge coupled with integrity and self-direction.
