ABOUT MSC
The Montessori School of Camden is a private, independent school located between Camden and Lugoff. MSC’s mission is to nurture the
“whole” child to inspire independence and a lifetime love of learning.
Founded by Dr. Sheryl Sweet in 1979 as The Montessori Pre-School at the Joseph Kershaw Academy (JKA), the school now occupies an
eleven acre campus and serves children 18 months to 12 years of age.
The MSC curriculum is based on the different developmental stages of the child. This carefully developed Montessori Method uses hands-on
materials to encourage a concrete understanding of abstract principles. The multi-age classrooms help the children develop self-esteem and
self-discipline, independence, and respect for and cooperation with fellow individuals.
With a low student to teacher ratio, the Montessori teachers observe, instruct, and encourage students to explore and to work at their own
pace. This non-competitive environment allows creativity and learning to flourish.
