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.
