Educational Learning Center in Summerville, SC

Name: Greater Things Learning Center and Extended Program
Address: 10505 Dorchester Rd, Summerville, SC, 29485, US
Telephone: (724) 689-9929

Greater Things Learning Center and Extended Program started because the traditional school environment can often be restrictive and inflexible. Through individualized and hands-on learning, our students can explore subjects that interest them outside of the standard curriculum.

Our learning center is a homeschool hybrid that will allow 1st-6th grade students to attend a full-day program from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and stay for an extended program until 5:30 p.m. as needed.

We aim to foster holistic growth, embracing academic and spiritual development in a supportive and engaging environment.

Academic Success

At Greater Things Learning Center and Extended Program, we understand that education is more than textbooks and classrooms. 1st-6th grade students participate in project-based learning for science, math, reading, and writing. Our program is designed to cater to our students' diverse needs and interests so that your student is challenged and thriving.

Project-Based Learning

Spiritual Growth

Central to our ethos is the recognition that Jesus is the Lord of all. We integrate faith-based principles into our curriculum, providing dedicated time for Bible study, praise, and worship. Through these activities, we aim to instill strong moral values, compassion, and empathy in our students, nurturing their spiritual development.

Biblical World View

Enrichment Development

From core subjects to specialized courses like American Sign Language, foreign languages, creative writing, robotics, and more, we aim to expand students' horizons and equip them with valuable skills for their educational journey.

Reading With God’s Creatures

Did you know that animals can help boost your child’s confidence? Early and struggling readers can bond with our class pets while practicing reading without any judgment! Students learn social and emotional skills as well as responsibility for taking care of the animals, but it also helps reduce anxiety so they can focus on learning.

Partnering With Old Fort Baptist Church

"And he gave some apostles, and some pastors and teachers, for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."

Ephesians 4:11-12

Greater Things is located in the building behind the main church. Old Fort Baptist Church is committed to carrying out the work of the body of Christ, which is outlined in Ephesians 4:11-12. We, as covenant members of this church, subscribe to the doctrinal statement of the "Baptist Faith and Message" as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in 2000 (BFM2000).
