FAQs
Are students offered a hot lunch?
Popular family dining restaurants deliver quality lunches to the school daily through the Schoolhouse Fare lunch program. The lunch service features an online ordering and credit card payment system, which adds to the convenience of the program. We also sell hot dog lunches on Mondays and ice cream on Fridays.
Does COKSM have a bus?
Buses are available through Coastal Limo for an additional fee to families that live on Daniel Island, Park West, Dunes West, Hamlin Plantation, Rivertowne and Brickyard.
Is there after school care?
The After-School Program (ASP) is available to all students from 4K through eighth grade. The ASP provides a safe and fun environment for the children to enjoy a snack, do homework, and take part in indoor and outside activities. The ASP program provides childcare from 2:50 - 6:00PM.
Do I need to purchase books and supplies?
No. Books and supplies are included in the tuition. Supplies and books are provided to the student on the first day of school. The only exceptions to this are books for high school-level courses.
What is the religion curriculum?
Religion is a core academic subject and a vital part of our school culture. All students attend daily Religion classes, where they explore the foundation, history, beliefs, and practices of the Catholic faith. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the tradition of the Catholic Church, our curriculum nurtures both spiritual formation and moral development.
Students in Grades 1–8 attend Mass every Wednesday morning and participate in liturgical celebrations throughout the year. Our curriculum also supports sacramental preparation for First Holy Communion, Reconciliation, and Confirmation, which takes place through each student’s home parish.
Additional faith experiences include:
-
The Sacrament of Reconciliation twice a year -- during Advent and Lent
-
The Stations of the Cross
-
Celebration of the Passion during Holy Week
-
May Crowning of Mary
-
Daily prayer throughout the school day
Our commitment to faith in action is equally strong. Students are encouraged to live out the Gospel through acts of service and compassion. They participate in outreach efforts such as:
-
Supporting local charities
-
Visiting nursing homes and writing letters to the homebound
-
School-wide monthly outreach projects
Through daily instruction, worship, and service, the Religion program at COKSM helps students deepen their relationship with God and grow as disciples called to love, serve, and lead.
