Accepting approximately 50 rising juniors (Class of 2027)
In keeping with the mission of Berkeley County School District, our magnet high school gives 11th and 12th grade students an opportunity to achieve high school and college academic success in a non-traditional learning environment. Working in collaboration with Trident Technical College (TTC), the Middle College encourages and eases transitions into a college environment.
Berkeley Middle College accepts students who reside in Berkeley County or whose parents are employees of BCSD. Normally, students accepted into the Middle College must provide their own transportation to the Berkeley Campus of Trident Technical College, located at 1001 South Live Oak Drive (Hwy 17A) in Moncks Corner. Since the Berkeley Campus is undergoing renovations, BMC has relocated to Trident Technical College, Thornley Campus at 7000 Rivers Avenue, North Charleston, SC 29406, building 700. BCSD will provide a shuttle from the Moncks Corner area to Thornley campus and the shuttle will return after the high school day ends.
Students of good academic standing may participate in athletic activities at their zoned high school. Berkeley Middle College has an annual fee of $125.00 per student. This fee is applied toward textbook and technology usage. Students with a free/reduced lunch status may apply for a reduced fee. If there are more qualified applicants than available space, the student body will be chosen through a lottery system and a wait list established.
