San Gabriel Christian School sees itself as an important partner necessary for the complete education of the whole child. We desire to assist and complement the home as it trains the children to grow and develop academically and spiritually. Our Philosophy Education is grounded in the absolute truth of the Word of God
Christ is the center of all things Human nature is sinful, not inherently good
The school`s role is to assist the family in fulfilling their responsibilities to educate their child
Christian education depends upon modeling by teachers led by the Holy Spirit, and not solely on educational methodologies
The Christian school strives to develop Christlikeness, not simply impart knowledge
God`s truth reaches beyond the classroom and is to be applied to every area of life

San Gabriel Christian School exists to extend the ministry of
San Gabriel Community Church into the community by offering the
highest quality education in an environment that encourages the
development of committed followers of Jesus Christ.
Established in 1949 as a ministry of San Gabriel Community
Church, San Gabriel Christian School has consistently offered a
Christ-centered quality education for over years. The formation of
the school can be traced to the late 1800s when a group of
Bible-believers met in a home to study God`s Word. Out of this
Bible study, grew San Gabriel Community Church. The Bible was at
the heart of the preaching/teaching ministry of the church. The
church had a vision for the future, and in a significant step of
faith, established San Gabriel Christian School in 1949. As the
school grew, it was soon evident that more space was needed, so in
the 1950s and 1960s, additional land was purchased and the
18-classroom Stewart Building was erected. Years later, a
multi-purpose building/gymnasium was constructed with additional
classrooms.
San Gabriel Christian School has provided an excellent
Christ-centered education to thousands of students in the San
Gabriel Valley. Students continue to be impacted by the gospel, a
caring staff, a quality education, and an unwavering commitment to
God`s Word. SGCS provides a challenging course of study emphasizing
reading and mathematics and focus in the core academic subject
areas of English, Bible, history, and science. We offer a robust
education with specialty teachers in art, vocal and instrumental
music, physical education, library, special education, English
Language development, and foreign language. We continue to progress
in our teaching methodology with the implementation of our
one-to-one iPad program in 4th-8th grade. We strive to glorify God
by providing academic excellence in a Christ-centered curriculum
and are accredited by both the Association of Christian Schools
International (ACSI) and the Western Association of Schools and
Colleges (WASC). The majority of our our students score in the top
15% of national norms on annual state testing, with most of our
middle school students scoring at the post-high school level.The
school has long established its desire to uphold the whole child;
academically, socially, physically and spiritually.

We love San Gabriel Christian! We love the education that our 2 boys (8th and 4th) are receiving. Our boys have been there since kindergarten. It is a loving and nurturing environment. The teachers, administrators and staff are loving and caring.
