Buist Academy Foundation Application

The mission of the Foundation is to advance and strengthen the educational experience for students and the greater Buist community. It’s a volunteer-driven, non-profit 501(c)(3) created to serve and support the children, educators, and families of Buist Academy. Each year the Foundation seeks to organize and utilize the time, treasure and talent of our families to help make Buist the best school it can be for our children.

We are searching for a diverse group of talented and excited community supporters to fulfill this mission. The commitment is typically for a 3-year term, and the time commitment is typically a 1-hour monthly on-site meeting, with meetings and volunteer activities in between, as warranted and appropriate. We are most in need of volunteers with a background in finance-accounting.

Contact Danielle Scheurer (scheured@musc.edu) for questions or click here or below for the link to the application.

Please do not park in the carpool lane during morning arrival or afternoon dismissal. This area is reserved for the safe unloading and loading of our students.

All car riders should use Anson Street for arrival and dismissal. Bus and bike riders should use Calhoun Street (Dogwood Alley).

Students not in class by 8:00 a.m. are marked tardy.

For the safety of our students and staff please yield to students entering and exiting their vehicle opposite of the curb during carpool. We ask that drivers please remain in your vehicle and allow staff on duty to assist your student as a courtesy to others.

If your student needs help with car seats and seat belts, after loading, please drive all the way up to assist them. We encourage you to teach students to independently perform these tasks.
