East Cooper Montessori Charter School
East Cooper Montessori has a good curriculum for children that learn through manipulation. For the student that needs more classroom instruction from the teacher, this school is not the appropriate choice. As a parent who has children in the school, I have seen a disturbing trend---mainly in boys that have left the school because they did not have basic skills being taught to them in the classroom. This school should really be called a "gifted and talented school" and is not a good representation of Mount Pleasant or the average child population.
