A Classical School in Travelers Rest
Greenthumb School began in 2016 as a children’s summer camp in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, and has grown into a full-day educational program rooted in the Memoria Press Classical Latin Curriculum.
Established in 2024, we partner with families who value both academic excellence and meaningful life experiences. Students join us on Mondays and Thursdays to cultivate joyful work, courage, and hospitality in a supportive community.
As the home of the Chick-a-Bees, our school embraces a spirit of joy and wonder—where learning is both meaningful and delightfully engaging.
Classical Learning & Practical Life Skills
At Greenthumb School, education extends beyond the classroom. Using the Classical Latin Memoria Press curriculum as our academic foundation, students engage in rich intellectual study alongside hands-on experiences.
Our program integrates activities such as cooking, gardening, and collaborative projects to build confidence, responsibility, and curiosity. Each day is designed to nurture both the mind and character of every student.
This balance of structure and creativity reflects the heart of Greenthumb School—where even serious learning is carried with a light and joyful spirit.
Outdoor activities are part of our Thursday half-day program, offering students time to explore and apply learning in a natural setting.
