BOILING SPRINGS, S.C. — Libertas Academy, a public charter school in Spartanburg County, is set to break ground on a $40 million upper campus that will add high school grades in Boiling Springs.

The first students, freshmen and sophomores, are due in fall 2027 for the 2027-28 year, school officials say. The campus will grow by a grade annually until it covers all four years.

Plans call for a gym, athletic fields and a theater, along with more room for classes and activities outside the classroom.

The news follows an Excellent rating for the Libertas middle school on the state school report cards for 2025-26. The school shares the county lead for middle schools with that mark and scored above every middle school in nearby Spartanburg School District Two.

Libertas also broke ground on a new site in Pickens County in October. The Boiling Springs ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Nov. 17.
