Welcome! Corpus Christi Academy is a new Catholic high school in the classical tradition in Charleston, SC. We believe in providing an education that leads students toward the true, the good, and the beautiful. We will open to freshman in the Fall of 2021, using a hybrid learning model in the initial year. We will transition to a traditional, full-time school in Fall 2022 with 9th and 10th grades. The school will grow each year with the inaugural class to form a small cohort-style academy of high school students offering a classical, liberal arts education.
