Junior High (7-8)
Welcome! We are grateful for the opportunity to minister to families and students as they step into their 7th and 8th grade years.
This age is a time in life where students are going through many changes and where they begin to discover who they are. Our focus at SCA is to come alongside students and families during this time and ensure they never forget the most important fact, and that is that they are a child of God and are loved by our good and gracious creator!
To help us achieve this focus, we strive to implement a biblically-immersed curriculum that is Christ-centered. We are also blessed to have highly qualified staff that desire to fulfill the mission and vision of the school and to see students achieve their God-given potential.
As we progress through the year, we welcome your partnership and desire to fulfill the wisdom shared in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way that they should go, so when they are older, they will not depart from it.”
With a Christ-centered environment and biblically-immersed curriculum, we hope to see your students grow in their faith.
May God bless you!

SCA Philosophy of Education
SCA believes that Christian education is a vital link in the successful rearing of children. It is the desire of the founders and staff of SCA to work together with the family and their church in reinforcing high moral values and the Christian lifestyle, while providing an excellent academic experience (Ephesians 5:22-33; Colossians 3:23; Genesis 2:18-25; Proverbs 9:10; Romans 1:21-27; Romans 12:1-21).
SCA can never replace the significant spiritual impact of a godly home and church. The parents maintain the ultimate responsibility in spiritual matters, but the school can assist them by including sound biblical teaching and through the example and leadership of the faculty (Romans 8:29; Proverbs 1:7).
To educate and prepare for life without including God as central to life does not fully prepare a child. The home, church, and school must work together to prepare children spiritually, morally, socially, and academically for their adult lives. The school’s primary responsibility is to provide the student with the necessary academic skills. This responsibility cannot be fulfilled in a spiritual vacuum. The school must also provide spiritual and moral direction in academic pursuits as well as personal life (John 8:32 and Romans 12:2).
