K-12 Private Schools Clarendon County residents
also have access to two private schools. Clarendon
Hall, a co-educational day school offering
academic instruction in kindergarten through
grade twelve, is an educational institution
fully accredited by the South Carolina Independent
School Association (also known as SCISA).
While Clarendon Hall is a parochial school,
operated, supervised, and principally controlled
by Calvary Baptist Church of Pinewood, its
management is vested in a semi-self-perpetuating

all denominations. Clarendon Hall depends
solely upon tuition and gifts received from
individuals who are interested in the continuing
growth of education through our state and
nation. Laurence Manning Academy has a total
