Mission&Philosophy
Mission:
SCS exists to educate students in excellence and integrity to lead and impact society by fulfilling their destinies for the glory of God.
Philosophy:
It is SCS's primary task to touch the hearts of children with the reality of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
According to the Scripture, children are a heritage to the Lord. As such, they require guidance, love and prayer to become thoroughly equipped men and women. Education, which enables a child to live a successful and fulfilled life in this uncertain world, must focus on the whole child––spirit, mind, body and emotions. With that in mind, the following outcomes define how the educational philosophy at SCS impacts a child:
