Cape Romain Environmental Charter School

Cape Romain Environmental Charter School Cape Romain Environmental Education Charter School (CREECS) is a public school in the SC Public Charter School District serving students in grades K4-8.

CREECS is a public school in the SC Public Charter School District. In our first year (2012-2013), we are serving students in grades K5-5th. Currently we are enrolling grades K5-6th for the 2013-2014 school year and we will continue adding a grade each year thereafter through 8th grade. CREECS does not have traditional attendance lines and any student eligible to attend public school in SC may att

end if space is available. CREECS Students will learn a “love of place” through hands-on participation in an inquiry-based environmental education curriculum grounded in the study of natural resources in the area. This innovative, interdisciplinary, environmentally-based curriculum was purposefully woven together utilizing the constructivism learning approach—where students are actively engaged in thinking, learning, questioning and understanding—to study the various habitats and environmental considerations of the natural resources in their locality.

🐛 STEAMED is BACK at CREECS—and we’re BUGGIN’ OUT! 🐞🦋

This year, our Terrapins are diving into the fascinating world of insects! 🌎🔬

We’ll be exploring an important question:

“What would happen to our world if insects disappeared?” 🤔🐜🪲

Get ready for a year full of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics, and Environmental Education as we investigate the tiny creatures that play a HUGE role in our world! 🌱🐝🌎

STEAMED is back, and it’s going to be one BUG-tastic year at CREECS! 🐛✨

BUILD-A-BIKE DAY IS COMING TO CREECS!

We are SO excited to kick off our Outride Riding for Focus program with an incredible hands-on experience for our 5th–8th grade students!

Thanks to the generosity of Outride, CREECS received 28 bikes, helmets, and curriculum designed to help students develop cycling skills, confidence, and a lifelong connection to riding.

And we’re kicking things off BIG! 🔧🚲

On Friday, September 11, our friends at SpokeWorks Bicycle Workshop are donating their time and expertise to work alongside our students as they build, assemble, and calibrate their bikes. Students will get hands-on experience learning about bike components, tools, maintenance, safety, and so much more.

This is exactly the kind of hands-on, real-world, life-changing learning we love at CREECS! 🌱🚲

A HUGE thank you to Outride and SpokeWorks for investing in our students and helping us bring this opportunity to life!

Changing lives, one ride at a time. 🚲

Ms. Christy’s 5th grade class put their engineering skills to the test as they designed and built structures strong enough to withstand an earthquake! 🌪️🏢

Our Terrapins were busy planning, building, testing, and making improvements while learning about earthquake-resistant structures and the engineering design process. What a fun, hands-on way to put STEM learning into action! 💡🛠️

Way to build, test, and persevere, 5th grade! 🐢❤️

🎤🐷 CREECS STUDENT COUNCIL IS ON THE MOVE! 🐷🎤

Our new 2026–2027 CREECS Student Council is kicking off a fun new video series where they’ll be traveling around campus asking our Terrapins some fun, silly, and unexpected questions! 💚🐢

This week’s question was:

“What would our school pig, Melvin, say if he could talk?” 🐷😂

And let’s just say…our Terrapins have some interesting ideas about what Melvin has been thinking! 🤣

Check out the video to hear what our students think our favorite four-legged CREECS friend would say! 🐷🎤💚

We can’t wait to see what question Student Council comes up with next! 👀🐢

💗 CREECS Teachers Love Dolly! 💗

We were seeing PINK today at CREECS! 🎀✨ Our teachers wore pink to honor the one and only Dolly Parton and celebrate her incredible heart, kindness, and love of children and literacy. 📚💕

Because, as Dolly reminds us, “You can never get enough books into the hands of enough children.” 📖💗

Just a little extra PINK, a whole lot of LOVE, and plenty of Dolly spirit at CREECS today! 🌸🎶

🐛Another Day of Science in Action!🐛

Our Environmental Education students put the scientific method to work today as they investigated a fun question: Is caterpillar size related to the size of their horns? 🌱🔎

Students made observations, collected data, and tested their ideas to see what the evidence revealed. We love seeing our Terrapins get curious, ask questions, and think like scientists! 🧪🧠💚
