Submit an Online Inquiry

Begin the process of learning more about the Porter-Gaud difference by completing our brief inquiry form. This step is required of all families (including those with older children already at Porter-Gaud and those currently enrolled at the O'Quinn Schools of Porter-Gaud). It must be completed prior to attending an Open House or parent meeting.

Attend a Lower School Virtual Open House

The best way to discover the Porter-Gaud Lower School is to attend a Virtual Open House. These Zoom events, hosted by Lauren McClary, Associate Director of Admission and Kathleen Beck, Application Process and Event Coordinator, will take place through the fall and winter. They will include a presentation providing an overview of the Lower School, a video showcasing our campus, students, and special programming, and a question and answer session. You will see the school in action and develop a clearer understanding of what makes Porter-Gaud the premier independent school in Charleston.

Register Your Child for the O'Quinn Student Preview

In lieu of the shadow day requirement for older students, O'Quinn kindergarten students and their parents are required to attend our O'Quinn Student Preview, where they will meet our Lower School Head and Dean and tour our campus.
