Such a step-up from public school. I mean it. When my kids graduate, they will be very prepared for college because they actually learn how to study, how to take notes, and how to be organized. But more importantly, they are in a school that places God's word #1 in the curriculum. Such an awesome school with awesome teachers, administration, and parents.

This is our first year at SWCS. I have children in Pre-K, K, & 2nd grade. It has been a great year! I am amazed how much my children have learned both academically and spiritually. The teachers are very caring and teach the kids good moral values. My second grader had some catching up todo because of their accelerated academics. Her teacher has been so helpful and kept us informed every step of the way. I also love the hand on approach of the classrooms. They often cook their own snacks.
