GREEN Charter School recognizes all students who have qualified for the Gifted and Talented program through the state of South Carolina. Gifted classes start in 3rd grade and each gifted class is given advanced level work. GREEN utilizes the special class option instead of a “pull-out” system. This allows our students to be taught advanced work in each core subject every day.

GREEN Charter School has implemented an Advanced Program for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. The Advanced Program includes small group, advanced instruction in English Language Arts, Mathematics and Science. Students who are in the Advanced Program can also earn high school credits in middle school, such as Algebra I, Geometry, Biology, and Foreign Language.
