CAMPUS LIFE PRIVATE SCHOOLS

What We Do

Campus Life Private Schools provides a safe space for students to explore life’s biggest questions.

Upcoming Events

Clubs and Small Groups

At each school we serve, we have the opportunity to equip student leaders to conduct club meetings before or during the school day. These club meetings provide a space for students to build community and grow in their knowledge of the Christian faith.

Offered outside of the school day, evening small groups give students a chance to interact with peers from the other schools CLPS serves, while also learning what the Bible has to say about different topics.

Trips and Events

From Guardians games and service events, to treehouse retreats and summer programs on Kiawah Island, CLPS offers students a chance to come together with those from other independent schools to build and strengthen relationships while also diving deeper into their knowledge of Jesus.

The Seaside Service trip was seriously such a blast. I will never forget playing dinner party and all of us laughing until we couldn’t breathe.
It was so fulfilling to be able to work with Habitat for Humanity to help them fix up a house for a family in need. A special moment from Seaside was the bonfire night at the beach. It was so special to be able to worship on the beach at sunset surrounded by my best friends.
