Mason Preparatory School, Charleston | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We moved back to Charleston and Mt. Pleasant in 2007. We searched all the schools in the area and had the best experience at Mason Prep! Wonderful people, great, caring, and energised teachers and administrators. Great focus on reading and math and developing well rounded kids who are polite, caring, and super smart.

We now have a daughter in 8th grade and our son in 3rd grade and we could not be more pleased at the education they are receiving. We also appreciate the kind and well balanced citizens the school is helping them to become.

We were initially drawn to the school for academics and the ideal class size for our children! We have been so pleased with the attention to detail and for the community leadership the school embraces with its volunteer and community service projects. We have developed many friendships with other families, parents, teachers, and administrators that will last a life time.

We were also looking for some special learning assistance with one of our children at Mason Prep. Once again the school and its staff has proved a willingness and excellence in guiding not only our child, but us, as two concerned parents, in all the different ways we could help our child develop, overcome, and thrive in a competitive academic environment.

All four of our children attend Mason Prep in grades first, fifth and seventh. We chose Mason Prep for its strong academics and nurturing environment. All of the teachers are wonderful. We truly appreciate the individual, caring attention they give to each of our children, focusing on their strengths and helping them overcome their weaknesses. We love that the teachers at Mason Prep know when to give the children close guidance and when to give them more responsibility and freedom. Our children know that learning can be fun! The school’s smaller size means that the Head of School, teachers and every other member of the staff know each of our children well. We feel blessed that our children attend Mason Prep and would recommend it whole-heartedly.

Two of my three children attend Mason Prep (third one will soon), and I honestly could not be happier with our experience.

The teachers and administration are so caring and engaged with not only the students but also with the parents. The teachers understand the needs/strengths/weaknesses of each child and work hard to maximize each child’s potential in a non-stressful way that would otherwise make the kids lose confidence. At the same time, they let the kids make mistakes and do not shelter them from occasional let-downs and failures.

In short, the school produces well-rounded and well-educated kids that are prepared for the next level.

I can honestly recommend the school without hesitation. It feels like family.
