USC Upstate: Spartanburg Scholars Academy

Spartanburg Scholars Academy

Crescat scientia, vita excolatur
“Let knowledge increase, let life be perfected.”

The purpose of The Scholars Academy is to provide advanced learners with a quality education in a supportive learning environment. Through a partnership between Spartanburg County Schools and USC Upstate, the program allows students to take college courses (at no cost) and advanced high school classes over four years while still participating in classes and extracurricular activities at their own schools.

Scholars Academy Alma Mater

Wisdom flows from mind to mind,
Spanning generations
Helping to improve the lives
Of many different nations.

Scholars, now we gather here
To learn ways to serve the Earth.
Now we stand, reach hand to hand,
And help each child realize his worth.

~Written by the 2007-08 Scholars
