What Type Of School Is CCA?

CCA is a 100% tuition-free charter school with no admission-testing requirements, authorized by the South Carolina Public Charter School District. Unlike a regular public school with zoned student enrollment, CCA is a state public charter school, meaning that scholars can attend CCA living in any neighborhood in Charleston, Berkeley or Dorchester County. If applications exceed available seats, scholars are enrolled based on a lottery.

What Grades Does CCA Serve?

CCA opened with Kindergarten and 1st grade in August of 2021. CCA will add a new Kindergarten class each year and grow existing grades until CCA is a full Kindergarten through 8th grade elementary and middle school. In the 2023-24 School Year, CCA will serve Kindergarten – 3rd grade scholars.

Our Mission

Compass Collegiate Academy provides every scholar with the academic foundation and strong habits that inspire and cultivate lifelong learners who lead purposeful, civic lives.

Where Is CCA Located?

The CCA campus is strategically located at 34 Race Street in a new building to serve a diversity of families living on the Charleston peninsula and in North Charleston.
