From the Head of School

Dear Charleston Collegiate Community,

Reflecting back on the 2015-16 school year, we have much to be excited about, and in the spirit of a good annual report, much for
which to be thankful. As anyone who has stepped foot on campus knows, Charleston Collegiate is one huge team effort - a self-made
place. Our progress over the past few years is the result of the generosity and effort of you, our supporters.

If we assigned a title or theme to the year, it might have been “momentum continued” as the school progressed even further up
what has been a steep trajectory in recent years. Dynamic learning took place all over campus, and there was a palpable sense of
engagement in classrooms that was mind-blowing for those of us who remember a much different (and less engaging) experience in
school.

In regards to highlights on the academic and extracurricular fronts, college acceptances were impressive once again, and the Boys’
Basketball team won a second State Championship in 3 years - not to mention strong finishes in volleyball and golf as well.

In December, we hosted an incredibly successful screening of the educational documentary film, Most Likely to Succeed, further establishing ourselves as innovative
leaders in the 21st Century Education movement. With two sold-out theaters filled with Charleston’s top education minds and a special appearance from the film’s producer,
Ted Dintersmith, this event stimulated a great conversation about what it will take to prepare students for the ever-changing world that awaits them. This also prompted us to
send a substantial percentage of our faculty around the country to visit schools leading this movement to gain insight and inspiration, which they brought back to CCS with
enthusiasm.

There are a variety of important results that have come from the travels and professional development opportunities experienced by CCS faculty throughout the year - all
of which were fueled by the generosity of our donors - but two things that we learned stand out among the rest. First, we learned that we are on the right track, seeing
evidence of our solid organizational “bones” present in the top schools that we visited. And second, we learned some tangible ways in which we can reorganize certain
structural components of the school to become a better version of ourselves. All of the momentum and positivity above, coupled with the amazing demographic explosion
that is happening on Johns Island, paint an exciting picture for the future of our school.

Last year’s progress is the result of the tireless efforts and selfless generosity of our staff, our donors, and our volunteers, and we appreciate the love shown to the school
more than words could ever express. Many people put in a great deal of effort to make Charleston Collegiate “tick”, and a few specific people deserve special recognition
and thanks. Outgoing board members Alec Taylor, Trevor Foster, and Rick Jerue served the school with generosity and deep levels of personal investment, and we are
appreciative of the amazing leadership they provided during a critical phase of the school’s growth. Also worthy of special recognition is new CCS Development Director,
Bonnie Scapellato, without whom we would not be celebrating the record-breaking fundraising year that we had. The significant contributions of these people, as well as
those of the dedicated army of volunteers and donors, make Charleston Collegiate the great organization it is.

Charleston Collegiate School has always been, and will always be, a family school. Our strength is in our people. While some schools celebrate world-class buildings and
shiny elements, we celebrate our world-class people and all that they do to create a true school of the future. If you are reading this publication, you are one of those people,
and we thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Hacker Burr, Head of School

Four Pillars of the CCS Learning Experience

Project-Based Learning

Students explore problems and challenges through creative thinking, hands-on activities, and teamwork. Knowing that they can take the content from their
classroom directly to their everyday lives piques our students’ interests in every area of study.

Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship

From brainstorming and collaboration to business planning and budgeting, our students are introduced to financial concepts in their early years that develop and
nurture their entrepreneurial spirit as they grow. These concepts allow our students to think beyond the classroom and prepare them for the challenges of the future.

Creativity and The Arts

Using the cross-curricular learning approach to deepen comprehension, our Fine Arts department gives our students a creative outlet as well as a competitive
edge in today’s world. From drama and graphic design to painting and sculpting, our students’ appreciation for the arts extends beyond a textbook.

Leadership through Outdoor Education

This program provides students with hands-on opportunities to learn risk
management concepts, effective communication skills, and group dynamics
in an outdoor setting. Charleston Collegiate’s beautiful 30-acre campus
includes an Outdoor Leadership and Education Center with nature
trails, kayak program, tidal swamp and dock, plus a low ropes
course with team-building elements that are unique to our
campus and curriculum.

Academics & Curriculum A primary goal
of CCS teachers
Charleston Collegiate’s mission is rooted in a commitment to help students develop in a supportive, student-centered is to inspire and instill
environment with challenging subjects. In the 2015-2016 school year, students in all divisions took core academic in students the desire
classes in English/language arts, global studies, health, mathematics, science, and Spanish. Students also enjoyed many to take responsibility

and memorization of long lists of facts. Our students are empowered to become actively invested in their education, by
participating in cross-curricular, project-based learning. This past year, we saw students studying Spanish and math in the
garden, using physics to build benches for our campus, and studying World War II through the creation of a chess set.

CCS provides an avenue for students to be challenged at high levels, cultivating lifelong learners

and leaders invested in discovering, creating, and sharing knowledge.

Innovative Leaders in 21st Century Education

In December of 2015, Charleston Collegiate School further established itself an innovative leader in the 21st Century Education movement when we hosted an
incredibly successful screening of the educational documentary Most Likely to Succeed. This award-winning Sundance Film Festival documentary takes an in-
depth look at traditional, outdated education and the need for change in our nationwide educational system. Its focus is promoting innovative, resourceful minds
that thrive in today’s ever-changing world.

By bringing this film to the Charleston community, meeting with key stakeholders in the world of
education, and involving our CCS families in the discussion, we learned that we are on the
right track at CCS. We are preparing our students for today’s world with skills such as
resourcefulness, resiliency, and creativity.

Curriculum enhancements were made to organize learning around intense
projects, promoting deeper learning and building grit and perseverance in
our students. Cultivating these important skills, along with our academic
rigor, will allow our students to be successful citizens capable of
innovative thinking in today’s world.

With two sold-out
theaters at the local
Terrace Theatre-and
a special appearance
from the film’s producer,
Ted Dintersmith-this event
sparked great conversation
about what it will take to
prepare students for the
modern world that awaits them.

College Counseling

Starting in the eighth grade, CCS Director of Student and College Counseling, Allie Darby, works with students to plan their academic future. Each year, careful
consideration goes into the course selection to ensure that each student is set up for his or her most productive challenge to prepare for college after CCS.

Every graduating student at Charleston Collegiate is accepted into college. In order to ensure this level of success, Ms. Darby and our upper school team
work individually with students to find the right fit for them and help them explore their options for their future. Ms. Darby helps students navigate the
admissions process, including registering for standardized tests, writing personal essays, and earning scholarships. Over 50 college admission directors have
visited CCS to meet with our students and tour our impressive campus. Many of the relationships formed between our students and these directors have led
to acceptances to their first-choice schools.

Charleston Collegiate School’s curriculum, packed full of creative writing, artistic expression, exhibition opportunities, and many other skills, truly helps
prepare our students for one of the most important parts of the college admission process: the personal essay. The CCS educational model helps students
shine in this area, ensuring that they can best utilize what they learn at CCS to succeed in the future.

“The Athletic Department strives to provide our student athletes, parents, and entire
school community with year-round positive, fun, and fulfilling experiences. We
remain committed to delivering a high-quality program that encompasses the spirit
of competition, teamwork, and self-improvement. None of this would be possible
without those who support us in so many ways. On behalf of our athletes and coaching

Highlight: 2nd Grade Halos Service Project

Charleston Collegiate School’s second grade class epitomized the future philanthropist mindset when they worked with the Charleston HALOS Adopt a
Family program. HALOS aims to provide support and advocacy to abused and neglected children and kinship caregivers. To raise money to help a family in
need during the 2015 Christmas season, the second grade class devised three entrepreneurial opportunities at the Johns Island Farmer’s Market, where they
created, marketed, and sold products to support their HALOS family.

Through these creative fundraising days, the students were able to provide their adopted family with new beds and Christmas gifts. The students raised
more than double their fundraising goal and truly learned the value of hard work and the importance of giving back.

Innovation Professional Development Highlight: The CCS High Tech High Visit
Welcomed
“The High Tech High conference is complete, and I can’t help but fast forward my imagination to where Charleston Collegiate
will be in five years. It will be a school with more play, more imagination, more creativity, more thinking, more listening, more
collaborating, and more doing. The beauty of it, for me, is that I work in a place where innovation is welcomed, and what we
get to do at CCS is imagine, create, think, listen, collaborate, and do.

I arrived at High Tech High with a list of questions. How do they get the learning over to the students? How do they get

the teachers out of “delivering” information? Just like their founder and CEO, Larry Rosenstock, explained, “Do something,

something that hasn’t been done before.” My problem was, I’ve been doing projects with my students for fifteen years, but I know that I can do better- much

better. I just needed a place to show me how. High Tech High was the answer. They’ve been at this Project Based Learning approach for five years, and they

are refining their approach each day. + =Student Teachers Co-Creators

So, what will I take away? I am taking back to Charleston a better
teacher (me) who has opened her mind to new ways of teaching

Astudents: ways in which teachers are no longer the deliverers of information and calling it student learning. The students and teachers are co-creators. I
needed the conference to help me learn how to build projects with “multiple entry points” and how to create parameters that allow for really deep thinking to
happen. Our team of six teachers took away a new language that could help us provide this shift of learning over to the students.
Active Exploration At the core of the HTH experience are the Six A’s of Project Creation (Academic Rigor, Authenticity, Applied Learning,
Adult Connections Active Exploration, Adult Connections, Assessment Practices). At the core of student learning are the Deeper Learning
Tasks, and where all of those come together are inside of this wonderful community of learners where teacher and student are co-
Authenticity creators of learning.
Academic Rigor

are ready for a change, and the time to embrace “Kick the

new board members Barbara Kelley Duncan, Rick Jackson, and Crayton Walters.

A Letter from the new CCS Board of Trustees Chair

The 2015-2016 school year brought many things for which to be thankful largely in a pursuit of excellence in academia and athletics (State Champs!).
Without the generosity of alumni, parents, family, and friends in their giving to CCS, none of this would be possible. The way the CCS community comes
together year after year truly makes me proud to be an alumnus and to support the school as the new
Board Chair. Continuing the momentum from 2015-2016, CCS looks to have another exciting year
ahead with the expansion of project-based learning to help create a deeper understanding and
passion for various topics. Furthermore, our athletic department is continuing to grow and
achieve great strides in skill, teamwork, and well-deserved recognition.

On behalf of the current Board of Trustees, I would like to thank Alec Taylor for
his indispensable leadership over the past several years and to thank my fellow
trustees for their ongoing support in all forms. Lastly, thank you again to the
parents, family, friends, alumni, teachers, and administration of Charleston
Collegiate School for giving to the CCS Annual Fund, Scholars Program, Capital
Projects and other fundraising events. With your continued support, there are
no limits to what the school and each and every student can achieve.

Fundraising
A letter from the Director of Development
On behalf of the CCS community, I am proud to share with you Charleston Collegiate’s 2016 accomplishments. As you
browse last year’s Annual Report, it is my hope that you are encouraged and excited by the developments of the past
twelve months. It is amazing to witness how quickly the children grow—the smart, strong, independent thinkers that
they are becoming. Students are here learning a love for literacy through comprehensive reading programs, excelling
in real-world math by measuring and graphing growth in the garden, and practicing entrepreneurship in starting small
business ventures in support of the Charleston community. These very experiences, combined with the academic
rigor of CCS, has made this campus such a perfect place for so many families.

I personally feel thankful to have my own three children directly involved in learning at CCS, and that they are
supported in becoming the very best versions of themselves. I quickly learned after our eldest child spent his
first year on campus that I too needed to be a part of this special place. The opportunity to serve as Director of
Development allowed me to take the leap from a 17-year corporate career to become actively involved, day-to-day,
in our school’s growth. In my first year on staff, I have witnessed the immense contribution and dedication by our
community that is helping to propel CCS and our students into the future.

Your generous support reinforces that CCS is heading in the right direction. I invite you to flip through the following
information and see firsthand the many great successes of the past year. The faculty and staff are humbled to see your
involvement and support of our mission. We are excited to have CCS families and friends behind us as we raise money
and awareness for the Annual Fund, the CCS Scholars Program, and our fundraising events. In this regard, it has been a
year worthy of celebration! A few notable accomplishments include:

• Exceeding the Charleston Collegiate Annual Fund goal raising $207,000

• Providing privately funded scholarships for 17 promising students

• Raising a record $187,000 in last year’s Annual Auction

These accomplishments could only be made possible by you, and further emphasize the growing commitment of our community both locally and
beyond. Inspiring our students to become passionate lifelong learners and to be prepared for the world of today and tomorrow is no small feat. Thank
you again for your generosity. There is such positive energy in the air here at CCS—a sign we are on the cusp of something extraordinary.

I invite you to scroll through the pages of this report and reflect on all that we as a school, as a family, and as a community have accomplished together.

With sincere thanks,

Bonnie R. Scapellato

Education Essentials

for Scholarship Students

Scholarship and Financial Aid do not always fully cover the “extra” expenses

of a CCS Education. As a result of the vision and dedication of long-time CCS

supporters Ruth and William Baker and Joyce and Thomas Hudson, the Education

Essentials program was founded in 2015. This fund supports CCS Scholarship students

with important items like: books, supplies, lunch, uniforms, field trips & Winterim, and

athletic fees. Thank you to our generous supporters that contributed to the Education

Essentials Fund, allowing our scholarship students the full CCS experience.

the school. Families gathered for a 5K trail run under the oaks, a 1-Mile Family Fun Run, a costume contest, and

participated in fun Halloween-themed games. The generous support of our volunteers, sponsors, runners, and

attendees helped to make this a successful and fun inaugural year, and we are looking forward to growing the Run

Golf Events

In the 2015 - 2016 year, CCS tried out a new kind of golf event! In December and again in June,
we hosted a small group of golfers in a 100-Hole Golf Marathon. Players asked their friends
and family to join them in supporting CCS by sponsoring them per hole. True golf warriors
joined us on the beautiful Briars Creek Golf Course with endurance and CCS spirit as they
putted, chipped, and drove their way through 100 holes of golf. Funds raised during these fun
events supported new robotics electives, athletics, scholarships, and a new CCS bus!

TahnadnakllYVouolPuTnOt, eBeorossters,

We’d like to take this opportunity to say a special thank you to our amazing PTO, Booster Club, and all of our dedicated volunteers.
Parents and other volunteers are the heart of our CCS community and provided countless hours of their time and talents to create
meaningful experiences for our students and faculty. So much of what we accomplish every year would not be possible without
them.

The CCS PTO is responsible for the success of so many CCS traditions that our students and faculty enjoy. From Trunk or Treat
Halloween festivities, to holiday shopping for students at the annual Gingerbread House, to all of the amazing treats and meals this
team of folks delivers to our teachers - CCS wouldn’t be the same without you.

Our dedicated Booster Club volunteers helped our teams participate in over 133 sporting events this year! From scoring to
game setup, to fantastic concessions - thank you for being true school-spirited Sun Devils and making athletics a great part of
Charleston Collegiate School.

To everyone who volunteered in the 2015-2016 school year, from Boosters, to PTO, to the Auction and Events committees - we would
like to extend a very large and heartfelt thank you for your dedication to making Charleston Collegiate greater every day.
