Principal's Message
Orange Grove Elementary Charter School is located in the beautiful city of Charleston, SC. Founded in 1963, it serves over 700 children from Child Development (4 years) to fifth grade. A reputation for excellence characterizes Orange Grove. It has proven its commitment to the highest standards in education by providing a well-rounded, quality instructional program for all children.
Orange Grove has been recognized for its excellence both on a state and national level. It has received several prestigious awards, which include the National Blue Ribbon Award for Exemplary Schools from the U.S. Department of Education; the SC Palmetto's Finest Award; Exemplary Writing School; Palmetto Gold; and the Environmental School of the Year. Incentive Reward funds totaling over $264,000 were received from the SC Department of Education for outstanding test scores over a period of twelve years.
Orange Grove's curriculum overflows with innovative, motivational techniques for instructing children of all different ability levels. We strive to create a learning environment, which will challenge and stimulate all students so that maximum learning will occur. Effective instructional programs such as Daily Oral Language and Accelerated Reader enhance our curriculum, along with an emphasis on writing, hands-on math and science activities, and literature.
The world of technology comes alive for our students with two networked computer labs, SMART Boards, and PC's in all the classrooms. Strong parental support and active involvement have been key ingredients in the success of Orange Grove School. Our PTA has had 100% membership for the past 41 years. Twenty business education partners also support our school with their time and resources. We begin our next journey in 2007-08 as a second year conversion public Charter School. Our name and management model has changed, but our excellence continues. Larry DiCenzo
