Relocating the Kids
Education
Parents on the move means kids on the move. And schools are one of the most important issues
facing relocating kids…and their parents! Both public and private schools (link to Chs Chamber
Schools listing) throughout the Lowcountry offer kids opportunities through regular classroom
activities, extracurriculars and specialized school events. Magnet schools focused on children’s
unique abilities.
