WHO WE ARE
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.
Our Mission
"Coastal High School’s mission is to engage students in Project Based Learning that will improve academic achievement, critical and creative thinking, and awareness of their leadership roles in our community and environment."
Coastal High School’s mission is to engage students through Project Based Learning, fostering a hands-on approach to education that enhances academic achievement. By connecting classroom lessons to real-world applications, students gain valuable knowledge and practical skills.
Our focus extends beyond academics to encourage critical and creative thinking while developing a strong sense of leadership. Students are inspired to recognize their roles in contributing to both their community and the environment, preparing them to make a meaningful impact.

Our Purpose
"We exist to redefine what a public school should look like. By demonstrating the impact a personalized environment can have on students, we hope to further empower a diverse population of young people through cooperative and collaborative teaching and learning."
