What?! Kona is coming TWICE this week? YUP!! Wednesday for LEAP Day and April 1st for First Friday!
Here are some highlights from the past week of our engaging science and engineering classes! In Forensics, students built a two-story structure and investigated real fires with help from the North Charleston Fire Investigative Unit. Engineering students in PLTW shared their design projects that addressed a problem at school, and 8th grade students created an edible model of tectonic plates.
šŸ‘‹šŸ‘‹šŸ‘‹ It's us again! This time of year, we need A LOT of volunteers! Please consider helping us out!

South Carolina's first Public Charter School specifically focused on the needs of Gifted & Talented

PSA was formed by a group of parents and educators seeking a unique educational experience for high ability students. They wanted a school setting that provided academic challenge in all subjects (not just math and English language arts) and met the social and emotional needs of Gifted students. Palmetto Scholars Academy opened its doors for the first time for the Fall 2010-2011 school year.
