My great-niece has attended SABCS since 3K, and she loves the school, faculty, and staff. She feels safe and likes to be challenged by the academics and activities as well as the faculty and staff. Thank you.

Speaking as a church member, alumna (4K-5th grade), and now parent of a child at South Aiken Baptist, I could not ask for a better quality education. I attribute much of my personal academic and career success to the wonderful foundation I received here. In addition to academics, SABCS educates each child to think for themselves, be curious, be confident, and seek God in all things. For these and countless other reasons, I would not choose to send my child to any school other than South Aiken Baptist.
