Meet Shafara & Warren Douglas - Proud Parents of Pierce, a Founding 1st Grade Scholar
What attracted you to LSC? We were attracted to Liberty because of the promise of a new and innovative learning environment. We were definitely excited about the incorporation of STEM and foreign language into the curriculum. We also felt that the principles of the school aligned my family's values as it relates to education.
Why do you believe LSC is the best fit for your child? LSC nurtures the whole child, academically, emotionally and socially. Since attending Liberty, we have seen amazing growth in our child's confidence, and sense of pride in his school.
What has your child enjoyed the most since attending LSC? While Pierce loves everything about Liberty, he definitely enjoys his teachers and Spanish class the most. He is so excited about learning a new language. As a parent, it is heartwarming to see your child excited about learning.
What would you share with those looking to become involved with LSC by donating time or resources? We would encourage them to come experience the Liberty family, but also donate to a school that is shaping the minds of our future leaders.

Let’s meet Megan and her kindergarten scholar, Jennings…
- What attracted you to LSC? I thought the teaching style would be exactly what Jennings would need to start kindergarten. The smaller class size and hands on learning are what he was used to, coming from preschool. He learned well when he was there and I wanted a place for him to continue in that same atmosphere.
- Why do you believe LSC is the best fit for your child? Jennings is part of a community & family at LSC. The adults know him y name and use his name when he arrives at school and departs each day. I want him to feel at home when he is not at home and LSC makes him feel this way, not just for my child, but for every child at LSC.
- What has your child enjoyed the most since attending LSC? He actually LOVES going to school. He mostly enjoys Spanish, gardening, and mixed Martial Arts, the things he would not necessarily have the opportunity to participate in if he was not at LSC.
- What would you share with those looking to become involved with LSC? Two and a half years ago, I was at the eSTEAM festival in downtown Sumter with my family when I heard Dr. Ivey talking about the idea of this school and I was compelled to find out more. Today, we are proud to be a part of LSC - a place where the teachers and staff are highly educated and their passion is evident in everything they do. I have seen my son grow in such a short amount of time. I would hope that all parents would want the same for their own child, and I would gladly recommend LSC to anyone who would ask about the opportunity to attend this school.

Expeditionary Learning (ELA)Through a series of modules, each one in grades K-2 is comprised of two one-hour blocks of content-based literacy (Module Lessons and K-2 Labs) and the third hour of structured phonics (K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block). Together, these three hours of project-based curriculum teach and formally assess all strands of the Language Arts standards for each grade level. | Eureka (Math) Numbers should add up to more than a right answer. They should inspire aha moments and joyful connections. Eureka Math® set a new standard for rigor, coherence, and focus in the classroom so students gain a deeper understanding of the why behind the numbers, all while making math more enjoyable to learn and teach. | Project Lead the Way (STEM) PLTW provides transformative learning experiences & hands-on STEM lessons for our scholars that align with the Next Generation Science Standards. Through a series of modules, scholars are presented with a real-world problem and must work collaboratively to use the Engineering Design Process to create a prototype that solves the problem. |

Meet Jenny Knopf, Proud Mother of Lane Knopf - a Founding 1st Grade Scholar
What attracted you to LSC? We love how LSC addresses the whole child. Academics, community, social emotional learning, etc. are all part of the LSC model. These components are integrated throughout the day and make for real world experiences.
Why do you believe LSC is the best fit for your child(ren)? We believe that LSC is the best fit for Lane because the learning environment is rigorous and engaging. Additionally, all scholars are taught to become better citizens and productive members of the community.
What has your child(ren) enjoyed the most since attending LSC? Lane comes home daily with a new "favorite" part of school. She has especially enjoyed project-based learning and Spanish. She loves her teachers so much!
What are you looking forward to the most about your child(ren) attending LSC? I am extremely excited to see how LSC continues to grow and make an impact not only on Lane, but our wonderful community. I know Lane will continue to grow as a leader, scholar, friend and beyond at LSC!
What would you share with those looking to become involved with LSC by donating time or resources? Liberty is a unique place where scholars are challenged to be leaders in their school and beyond. LSC will make Sumter a stronger and better community in the years to come. By donating your time and/or resources, you can play a role in that positive change. As a parent, I thank you for your consideration in helping not only my child succeed, but so many others!
