About Clarendon Hall

Clarendon Hall

Clarendon Hall is an Independent Christian school in Summerton, South Carolina. Since 1965, the school has provided students with Christ-centered education, strong academics, and biblical values. Clarendon Hall serves families throughout Clarendon County and surrounding communities, focusing on spiritual growth, leadership, character, and academic success.

Founded on Christian Values

Summerton Baptist Church founded Clarendon Hall in 1965 to provide students with a strong Christian education in a non-denominational environment. Originally, the school operated as Summerton Baptist Church School. In 1968, Calvary Baptist Church near Pinewood assumed leadership of the school, and later that year Clarendon Hall opened a modern educational facility in Summerton on eight acres.

Growth and Campus Expansion

During the 1975–76 school year, the school added a gymnasium, cafeteria, and multipurpose room. In 2004, a major capital campaign added a new administration wing, a new campus entrance, a connecting hallway, new lockers, and updated restrooms. Improvements continued in 2005 and 2006 with landscaping, paving, fencing, a redesigned driveway, and a renovated gymnasium and cafeteria.

Modern Facilities and Student Life

In December 2019, Clarendon Hall completed the Wellness Center, featuring one of the most advanced weight training centers in SCISA Single-A athletics. In the summer of 2022, the school opened a new kindergarten and elementary building with modern classrooms, improved safety features, and updated learning spaces.

A Tradition of Christian Education

Today, Clarendon Hall Christian School continues to serve students and families from many denominations throughout South Carolina, committed to Christian education, academic excellence, athletics, leadership, and spiritual growth.
