Mission: Liberty STEAM Charter (LSC) works to provide all students equal access to a world-class K-12 education in an academically rigorous & student-centered learning environment, creating graduates to be thoughtful & engaged citizens prepared to take on the leadership challenges of the 21st century.

Vision: In partnership with our families & the community, Liberty STEAM Charter (LSC) will provide interdisciplinary, real-world, personalized, and project-based learning experiences through a STEAM-based academic program where graduates become the next generation of leaders, employers, and employees who contribute to the economic well-being of their communities and families. 

The sole purpose of today's special called meeting of the LSC Board of Directors is to conduct the fall enrollment lottery to select the scholars from qualifying lottery applicants for the 2022-23 school year at Liberty STEAM Charter. 

LSC has received the required minimum number of lottery applications for its 2023-24 classes (kindergarten, first grade, & second grade). Pursuant to the SC Charter Schools Act of 1996 (59-40-10), a public lottery is required in order to determine the selected students for both founding grade levels. For next year, we will be filling all 150 new seats in the Kindergarten class, 40 new first grade seats, 37 new second grade seats, & 43 new third grade seats. The number of seats are in accordance with the board approved enrollment expansion that takes effect in the 2023-24 school year. 

Representatives from the local media, city government, county government, and the legislative delegation have been invited to observe the lottery proceedings in person. Today's special called meeting of the Founding Board of Directors will be live-streamed via the school's official Facebook page with the option for parents whose scholar (s) is enrolled in the lottery to observe via the Zoom platform as well. To be considered in the initial lottery, applications must be received on or before 11:59 pm November 30 via Lotterease, the electronic platform being utilized to collect enrollment applications and to facilitate the actual lottery event. Please note that applications received between November 30 and the time in which the lottery is conducted are also included in this pool of applications.
