Success Stories from the Simpsonville Campus

One of the most exciting recent updates for the Simpsonville community was the move to the new facility at 1100 Brookfield Blvd. This modern space isn't just about new walls; it represents the school’s growth and its commitment to providing students with a safe, state-of-the-art environment. The campus is expanding its reach, serving grades K–7 this year and growing to K–8 for the 2026-27 school year!

1. The "Inaugural Growth" Milestone

In early 2025, the school achieved a major operational victory: moving into its permanent home at 1100 Brookfield Blvd. Founding Principal Maria Werner has spoken about the "voice and choice" model being built here from the ground up.

• The Specifics: Unlike many schools that feel "pre-packaged," Simpsonville students have been actively involved in naming their own clubs and helping design the vibe of the new building. It’s a place where the kids feel like owners, not just students.

2. Hands-On STEM: The N.E.E.D. and PLTW Partnerships

While most schools read about energy in textbooks, GREEN Simpsonville uses the N.E.E.D. (National Energy Education Development) Project.

• The Specifics: In middle school grades, students don’t just learn about electricity; they often build solar-powered models or conduct energy audits of their own classroom. Combined with Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Launch, the younger students (K-5) use a "problem-based" approach, like building a structural solution to protect a "survivor" during a simulated natural disaster.

3. Community "Spirit in Action" (PTO Events)

The Simpsonville PTO is incredibly active, turning the school into a hub for the community.

• The Specifics:

  • The Fall Festival: A massive recent community event that invited dozens of local vendors and hundreds of families for an evening of local support and "spirit building."

  • Mauldin Christmas Parade: In December 2025, the school community marched in the local parade, showing off their "Green for All, All for Green" pride to the entire town.

  • Winter Concert 2025: A high-attendance event that showcased the growing performing arts and music program, which many parents cite as a hidden gem of the curriculum.

4. Real-World Martial Arts Partnerships

To support the "whole child" philosophy, the school has forged local partnerships that go beyond standard PE.

• The Specifics: The school coordinates with local experts like Upstate Karate and the Greenville Martial Art Center to offer off-campus enrichment. This helps students build the "confidence and character" mentioned in the school's mission statement through physical discipline and respect-based sports.

"At GREEN Simpsonville, we planted the seeds of a vibrant learning community—and this year, we grow together. innovation and integrity go hand in hand here." — Maria Werner, Founding Principal
