Thomas Holloway Early College

What is Royal Holloway Academy?

Royal Holloway Academy is a PROPOSED Public Charter School applying to open for students in the fall of 2022 under the authorization of the Charter Institute at Erskine. The school will open to students in grades 6-9 and add a new grade each year with our first graduating class in 2026. Students must complete the requirements set by the State of South Carolina for High School Graduation.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in the Thomas Holloway Early College, a dual-enrollment program which provides students the possibility to acquire a South Carolina High School Diploma and Associate of the Arts degree from an accredited higher education institution.

RHA provides a Classical Education that meets entering sixth grade students with support to culminate the Grammar stage. The Grammar stage embraces learning the “what” or facts, while seventh and eighth grade correspond to the leaning of “why” – the Logic Stage.

In ninth through twelfth grade, students put together their acquired knowledge and skills in the creation and articulate expression of their own ideas and begin to formulate their own worldviews -- this is the Rhetoric stage.
