I am a student at SCS and although Ive only been there for a couple years, I think that this is the best school I have ever attended.

I graduated from SCS this past spring and I really enjoyed my time there. I grew so much spiritually throughout my 6 years there. The chapels are typically very, very good and most seem to enjoy them and get involved. The size of the school allows you to get to know people very well. However, with any

The teachers really care and are always willing to talk with you about anything. Like any Christian school it gets called a 'bubble' which is true. Everyone gets very involved with extra-curriculars at SCS and so most of the friends that are made are other Christians from SCS. This is honestly the only Christian high school I know of where barely anyone drinks... quite unique! Read less

This is our child s 4th year at SCS and unfortunately little has changed in regards to the lack of diversity in the staff and administration.

Currently a Black man is successfully running for President of the United States and SCS does not have 1 Black teacher in their elementary school. This is shameful! SCS will educate a black child, but they do not see the necessity of the black child being educated by someone who looks like them. Give all children VISION!

My son loves SCS. I love SCS. I give my positive rating for the spiritual, social, and academic benefits. We came from a private school that is literally double the tuition rate of what I pay at SCS.
