Office of Public School Choice - Single-Gender Education

Single-gender education is teaching boys and girls the same high standards within different classrooms. Federal regulations issued in October 2006 authorized the use of single-gender classrooms, programs, and schools within districts as a way to meet the educational needs of its students. Currently, there are over 200 schools within South Carolina that offer some form of single-gender program. Single-gender programs exist in elementary, middle, and high schools.


The Office of Public School Choice will assist and support schools and districts in their efforts to create, implement, and evaluate a single-gender program. Support will include planning meetings with principals and team leaders, training of staff, gender awareness presentations to staff, classroom observations and follow-up meetings with teachers, and parent presentations.


Statewide workshops and meetings will also be planned throughout the year, and monthly newsletters will be sent to teachers.
