Blessed Sacrament Catholic School

Blessed Sacrament is proud to have 3 and 4 generations of families attending the school. The transgenerational nature helps build relationships within the school and the community. Several faculty and staff members who attended the school have come back to teach or enroll their own children, including Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Bendt. Charleston transplants are welcomed with open arms. Mrs. Bendt says, “We are a family. New students transitioning do very well, and our students are very accommodating. They like welcoming new students.” The love and pride they have for their school have no boundaries. It’s a place with shared values, and lifelong friendships are formed.

Principal King often feels inspired working with children and their families. She explains, “After selecting a pediatrician, the next big decision for a parent is where to send their baby to school. I enjoy supporting parents through the process and watching our students thrive at our school. It’s a place they can trust with their children. It is equally rewarding to work as a collaborative team with teachers and parents to help students who may have been struggling to find success.” At the entry-level of K3-5, the main focus is nurturing social-emotional development. It is a low-tech learning environment, understanding the basics of following directions and personal awareness. The 2^nd – 8^th graders transition to 1:1 technology without sacrificing the need to master interpersonal skills. Students are encouraged to develop strong communications skills, gain confidence when speaking to adults and grasp conflict resolutions skills. Beginning in 6^th grade, students participate in an academic, religious class. The 8th graders have the opportunity to earn high school credit in Spanish and Algebra. Class size averages 16 students per class, allowing for personalized attention.
