I’m happy to report that Lakes and Bridges Charter School is open for business.
The school, which is focused on helping students with dyslexia, opened this year.
Lakes and Bridges Charter School is one of only five free public schools in the nation for students with dyslexia and the first one in South Carolina.
This year, it’s operating as a school within a school, at Crosswell Elementary, near Easley. Although it’s located in Pickens County, the school is chartered through the state Charter School District and is open to students with dyslexia from anywhere in South Carolina.
