Frequently Asked Questions
Applications will open no later than October 1 of the prior school year.
At SCS, we want to know the whole student, not just grades and test scores. Our goal is to understand each child's unique strengths, needs, and potential so we can determine if SCS is the right place for them to thrive spiritually, academically, and socially.
An admission committee reviews the application, report card/transcript, teacher and principal evaluations, and standardized test scores, as well as any diagnostic evaluations provided to determine the potential success of an applicant at SCS.
For classes that are at capacity, a waitpool is formed. This allows SCS to choose the best potential fit as openings arise.
Yes! SCS offers need-based financial aid. The link to apply is provided here.
Students applying for grades K-6 will have a student visit day following their testing. A visitor will be connected with an Eagle Buddy in his/her current grade level and will attend all classes and enrichments with that buddy for the remainder of the day, including a lunch provided by Sage Dining.
Students applying to grades 7-12 at the Lakeside Campus are encouraged to schedule an individual on-campus student shadow day or participate in the group on-campus shadow events that occur twice a year.
Students applying to Grades 5-12 will be contacted by the Admissions Office for a family interview when all the admission requirements are met.
SCS is dedicated to providing a safe, healthy, and Christ-centered learning environment. One of our initiatives includes student drug testing for grades 9-12 only. Our goal is to help students remain accountable as well as to support families in promoting wise, healthy choices. Testing reinforces our partnership with parents to guide students toward habits that honor God and set them up for long-term success. Typically, we test at the start of each school year and then intermittently throughout the remainder of the school year.
