Riverside High School

Paul L. Dunbar Child Development Center in Greer is one of five Greenville County Schools child development centers serving 3- and 4-year-olds. Our programs include full-day Four-Year-Old Kindergarten (4K) and Preschool Special Education for 3- and 4-year-olds. The curriculum builds pre-literacy, pre-math and school readiness skills through play and daily authentic learning, with attention to academic, physical and social-emotional growth. Partnerships with Greenville County First Steps, the Children's Museum of the Upstate, Julie Valentine Center, SC Children's Theatre and the South Carolina Department of Mental Health let us offer parenting education, family engagement opportunities and mental health services for children and families.

Greer Middle School serves about 1,037 students in grades 6 to 8 from our building on East Gap Creek Road, right next door to Greer High School. Our campus has science and computer labs, a band, strings and choral room, and interactive boards in every classroom, plus tennis and basketball courts, athletic fields and an all-weather track. Students can take high school credit classes in Algebra I, English I, Geometry and Spanish I, along with virtual PE and electives. They can also take Gateway to Technology pre-engineering, join the Duke Talent Identification Program, and build leadership through Capturing Kids' Hearts, Leadworthy and the Student Ambassador Program. Musicians can join our honors band, orchestra and chorus. Seventh and eighth graders can play volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball and baseball. Beta Club, drama, yearbook, intramurals, an extended day program and a weekend backpack program round out school life.

Kids 'R' Kids Learning Academy at Pelham Medical Center sits on the Pelham Medical Center campus in Greer, just off Highway 14 between Pelham Road and I-85. Our infant, toddler, preschool and Pre-K classrooms take children between 6 weeks and 4 years old, and school-age children ages 5 to 12 join us for after school and summer programs. Our classrooms use the Kids 'R' Kids curriculum line, including the STEAM Ahead and Brain Development programs, with technology in each room. Parents can watch their child's classroom live through Watch Me Grow, which is included in tuition, and the front entrance uses code-entry access. We pick up after school students from local elementary schools. The center runs Monday to Friday, 6:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., and we now offer free or discounted tuition for 4-year-olds through South Carolina First Steps 4K.
