"To equip each student to fulfill his or her God-given purpose so being led by His Spirit, they change the world."
- Lathan
Our story
Crown began when a group of educators, parents, and business leaders came together with a shared dream: to create a learning environment that would challenge students to become critical thinkers, and leaders equipped to influence their communities and the world. We envisioned a culture that nurtured within students a genuine love for people, creative expression, and wisdom and integrity.
That dream took shape when seven students and two teachers pioneered Crown Leadership Academy in a one-room schoolhouse tucked inside an office building on Coleman Boulevard in Mt. Pleasant, SC. As the academy grew, we spent two years at Holy Cross on Sullivan’s Island before moving into one of our current campuses on Long Point Drive, in Mt. Pleasant.
In 2019, Crown expanded its reach by opening our North Charleston campus at North Palm Community Church, extending our mission and welcoming a new group of students and families into the Crown community.
