Our desire is to disciple students to become wholly devoted followers of Jesus Christ. We partner with Christian families to provide biblical education and spiritual development for their children; therefore, the expectation is that all families who seek to enroll their children at SCA are Bible-believing followers of Christ who are actively growing in thier own walk with God.
