Everyone knows how much we love animals here at Clear Dot, so we were especially excited to receive a surprise visit from Columbia Mounted Patrol while they were traveling through the area!

Thank you Columbia Police Department, SC for taking the time to stop by and visit us!

Last night, we had the privilege of celebrating our incredible teachers and students at the Eighth Annual Charter Institute at Erskine Banquet alongside schools from across the state.

This year’s celebration was especially exciting as Aria Davis, after being named Clear Dot’s Lower School Student of the Year, was also selected as the Charter Institute at Erskine DISTRICT Lower School Student of the Year!

Aria’s quiet confidence, poised strength, kindness, determination, and growth continue to inspire us every day, and we could not be more proud to have her as part of the Clear Dot family. Congratulations to Aria and all of our students and teachers recognized last night!
