The Palmetto School

The Palmetto School at The children's attention home was organized under The sc charter School act in 2004. Since that time The School has served over 500 children. The School was developed to meet The educational needs of children who were living at The children's attention home, an emergency shelter for children that have been removed from parental custody by The department of social services due to abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment. Prior to The School's charter, The children living at The home attended School in local elementary and middle schools. Because The children had been removed from their homes and moved to an unfamiliar location, they struggled in School. The Palmetto School at The children's attention home was developed as a safe environment, with smaller classes that provide individualized education services to meet The needs of that child.
