NOW OPEN: Program Options Applications

Traditionally, children are assigned to a public school according to where they live. Rock Hill Schools recognizes each student is unique and we offer several program options designed to help meet those needs and nurture students’ talents, interests and aptitudes.

School program options, formerly school choice, fosters parental involvement and high expectations, and gives parents the opportunity to choose the school to meet their student’s needs.

Rock Hill Schools offers programs in:

• Accelerated Studies - Grades K - 5
• Arts - Grades K - 5
• International Baccalaureate - Grades 6 – 8 and 11, 12
• Inquiry - Grades 3 - 5
• Language Immersion (Spanish and French) - Grades K - 5
• Montessori (Tuition-based) – 3K, 4K
• Montessori – Grades K - 2
• Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math - Grades K – 12
