PATTISON'S ACADEMY FOR COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION

Pattison's Academy for Comprehensive Education is a public charter school that is part of the Charleston 01 school district, located in Charleston, SC with about 38 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, Pattison's Academy for Comprehensive Education has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Pattison’s Academy for Comprehensive Education is a specialized educational facility located in Charleston, South Carolina, dedicated to supporting children with complex physical and neurological disabilities. Unlike traditional school settings, the academy integrates rigorous academic instruction with intensive therapeutic services. By housing education and rehabilitation under one roof, the school removes the logistical barriers families often face when coordinating separate appointments for speech, physical, and occupational therapies, ensuring that students receive a holistic and seamless educational experience.

The academy is driven by a mission to empower students with significant medical and developmental needs to reach their full potential through individualized learning plans and specialized care. Their curriculum is designed to be highly adaptive, focusing on both cognitive growth and life skills in an environment that prioritizes safety and inclusion. By fostering a supportive, medically-informed community, Pattison’s Academy serves as a critical resource for families in the Charleston area, providing children who have intensive support requirements the opportunity to learn, socialize, and thrive alongside their peers.
