Our School

Coastal High School is committed to providing quality education for all students. Our mission emphasizes excellence in learning and growth opportunities. Additionally, we are dedicated to serving our neighbors and supporting the needs of our community.

Welcome to CHS

Welcome home to Coastal High School (CHS), a tuition-free public charter high school, where students engage in real world application, are known by name, and practice leadership skills every day.

Located in the heart of Myrtle Beach near the Market Common, CHS is open to all high school students in Horry and Georgetown Counties. Small class sizes, project-based learning, and personalized instruction are just a few things that set us apart from the rest. Students can earn over 24 hours of college credit while leaving behind the challenges that come from large school environments.
