Why Taylors Elementary
At Taylors Elementary, excellence and leadership go hand in hand. Our commitment to academic achievement was most recently recognized with the Palmetto Gold Award for High Achievement, reflecting the dedication of our students and staff to learning and growth. As a Leader in Me Lighthouse School, we live our mission of Empowering Leaders for Today and Tomorrow by believing that every student has genius and creating opportunities for that genius to shine. Through intentional leadership development, student voice and choice, and monthly Covey Clubs for every student, our staff helps children discover their strengths, explore their interests, build confidence, and develop the skills to lead. At Taylors, students don't just come to school to learn—they belong, lead, grow, and discover what makes them uniquely great.

More from our parents: "I cannot say enough about our experiences at Taylors Elementary. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. You truly do feel like you are a part of a community and family.
The teachers are caring and support the students not only in the classroom but outside, asking if there are any activities they participate in that can be attended.
The administration takes time to get to know not only the students, but the parents and welcome ideas that make the school better for all students.
The PTA is phenomenal! They are very hands on and active and strive to make Taylors the best place for our kids. I love our school and am so proud to be a part of the Taylors Topcat Family!"
“As a mom, there is no greater comfort than knowing we drop our child off each day with teachers and staff who genuinely love, care for, and respect our son. They pour into him, encourage him, and help him discover the leader he is. We are so grateful to be part of a school family that invests in his education, but also in who he is as a person.”
